[SUREFIRE-2095] Fork crash doesn't fail build with -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true when run with failsafe by br0nstein · Pull Request #545 · apache/maven-surefire (original) (raw)

When maven.test.failure.ignore is enabled, a test that crashes the JVM (e.g. that causes an OOM, with -XX:+CrashOnOutOfMemoryError) currently does not cause a build failure. This is perhaps the right behavior but is an issue in a CI setting because the following:

  1. No failsafe-reports/TEST-*.xml file is created that corresponds to the test that crashed.
  2. No failsafe-reports/TEST-*.xml files are created for all the tests that did not run (because they were to run after the crashed test in that same forked process).
    Because of that, in a Jenkins setting, the Jenkins Junit plugin does not identify any test failures and the build is marked successful instead of unstable. The forked process crash is only identified in the failsafe-summary XML (in the failureMessage) which AFAIK the Junit plugin does not parse to drive the build status.

This PR ensures that whether test failures are configured to be ignored or not, such a crash in the forked process by the failsafe plugin will always fail the build, to match the new behavior for the surefire plugin in SUREFIRE-1426.

This PR updates the VerifyMojo to pass a SurefireBooterForkException (deserialized from the failureMessage output to the summary XML from the IntegrationTestMojo run prior) to reportExecution so the build is terminated with a MojoExecutionException the same way as it is when tests are run by the surefire plugin (AbstractSurefireMojo).

See 6e60b03 for the corresponding fix for the surefire plugin (SUREFIRE-1426), that this leverages.
