Andreas Gudian commented on SUREFIRE-1088: ------------------------------------------ @Daniel: your surefire configuration would be a good start to see what kind of forkCount / reuseForks, parallel, provider configuration you use. > When test fail during initialization the test execution time can result in a > large negative number. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1088 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-1088 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Maven Surefire Plugin > Affects Versions: 2.16 > Reporter: Daniel Cruver > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.18 > > > For example it will print out this: > Time elapsed: -1,317,678.69 sec <<< ERROR! > This happened in a call to @BeforeClass method and was specifically when a > class was not found when loading in a spring context. The later is not that > important because we have seen it happen in other cases. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
