In a multi module mvn 3.0 build, I set forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds to one hour. If tests in module A hang, I hit surefire threshold which will fails the build and skips remaining modules. We use a junit timeouts which should kill hung tests prior to this but some scenarios encounter this problem. I’d like to keep my builds running while I investigate enhancements to our junit runner.
Current Command Line: mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore
- How I can change the surefire timeout behavior to move to next module and continue the build?
- Does anyone have tips for testing one’s junit framework?
I was going to review the surefire project’s integration tests for ideas for both items. I plan to have a junitsystest module which activated by a specific profile so I can test various problematic situations outside of my builds.
According to Mastering The Maven Command Line – Managing failures –fail-at-end or –fail-never will provide the desired results. Surefire timeout continues to be reported but doesn’t halt the build.
Not recommending in the long run as it lengthens bad build times
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore --fail-never
