Hi, I may have found a bug.
My team's code has tests failing depending on what system they're run
on, apparently because of conflicting line separator. I'm trying to
change the line.separator value so I can debug.
My normal setting is line.separator=\n, and tests currently pass. I
tried adding this to my surefire config:
<systemPropertyVariables>
<line.separator>
</line.separator>
</systemPropertyVariables>
I expected that this was just giving explicitly the same setting that
was normally natively available, so the tests should be unaffected. In
fact, tests started to fail, it seems like the VM is treating
line.separator as empty. For example, we expected a formatted stack
trace:
* Stack trace:
java.lang.Exception: exception message
at com.poppin.Foo.bar(Foo.java:47)
at com.poppin.Eggs.spam(Eggs.java:305)
and we got one without line breaks:
* Stack trace:
java.lang.Exception: exception message at
com.poppin.Foo.bar(Foo.java:47) at
com.poppin.Eggs.spam(Eggs.java:305)
(the above is all one line)
Similar results when I give <line.separator>
</line.separator>.
Am I right in thinking this is a bug? Maybe when reading the xml,
whitespace is stripped, including my 
, and the property entry
winds up empty (though I can't find anything in the surefire source
explicitly doing that). Or is there something else I am doing wrong?
Appreciate
