Test fail for release:perform only - no failure info

Hello,

 

 

     Seeing something weird... a project where all tests pass for
release:prepare but release:perform says it has test failures.  None of
the tests show up with the << FAILURE notation.  I also looked through
all the surefire reports and none of the tests are failing.  I tried
running with error trace (-e) but that provided no further information.


 

I'm using Maven 2.0.9.

 

Any ideas?  Where to start looking?

 

Thanks!

 

Randall

Nice one. Adding an svn:ignore to a new project/module's target
directory is about the first thing I do for a new artifact.
