             Summary: Nested causes conflated with wrapper exception
                 Key: SUREFIRE-1067
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-1067
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
    Affects Versions: 2.13
         Environment: JDK 7u51 on Linux
            Reporter: Jesse Glick
            Priority: Critical


I created a simple Maven project containing just a test

{code}
package p;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.junit.Test;
public class SomeTest {
    @Test public void t() throws Exception {
        try {
            m();
        } catch (RuntimeException x) {
            throw new IOException(x);
        }
    }
    private void m() {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }
}
{code}

If I run this using {{maven-surefire-plugin}} 2.12.4, I get a 
{{p.SomeTest.txt}} with the expected output:

{code:none}

        at p.SomeTest.t(SomeTest.java:7)
        ... 29 more
{code}

But if I use 2.13 or higher, I get

{code:none}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test set: p.SomeTest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.037 sec <<<

        at p.SomeTest.m(SomeTest.java:13)
        at p.SomeTest.t(SomeTest.java:7)
{code}

which is missing the potentially crucial information about what threw the 
{{IOException}} and why. (Or if the wrapper exception does not follow the 
convention of appending {{": " + cause}} to its own {{message}}, the Surefire 
output would lack any information about the detail message in the original 
exception.)
