{code}

The details of the backtrace aren't always identical, and it's not even always a {{NumberFormatException}}, but that's the most common symptom.

Here's my diagnosis: in the above example, it's trying to parse the string {{pClientWrapperTest}} as a number.  And, in fact, we have a test called {{SipClientWrapperTest}} in the project, so it seems like the {{.jenkins-HASH}} file is either getting written to with invalid data or is getting overwritten while we are in the middle of writing.

Here's our configuration:

{code}
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.18.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <argLine>-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -Dsumo.detect.flakiness=false</argLine>
          <redirectTestOutputToFile>true</redirectTestOutputToFile>
          <runOrder>failedfirst</runOrder>
          <trimStackTrace>false</trimStackTrace>
          <forkCount>1C</forkCount>
          <reuseForks>false</reuseForks>
          <systemPropertyVariables>
            <property>
              <name>java.io.tmpdir</name>
              <value>${project.build.directory}</value>
            </property>
          </systemPropertyVariables>
          <includes>
            <include>**/*Spec.class</include>
            <include>**/*Suite.class</include>
            <include>**/*Test.class</include>
          </includes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
{code}

Note the {{forkCount}} property: we're running tests in parallel (assuming we're on a multicore machine, which we are), but they all write to the same {{.jenkins-HASH}} file because the hash depends on the overall job, not on the individual test classes.

I haven't looked at the code closely enough to know if multiple tests are writing to the file at the same time, though I haven't been able to catch that in the act, so my guess is that they aren't.  But, if you look at the stacktrace, you'll see that it's going through this method:

{code}
    public StatisticsReporter instantiateStatisticsReporter()
    {
        if ( requiresRunHistory )
        {
            final File target = getStatisticsFile();
            return new StatisticsReporter( target );
        }
        return null;
    }
{code}

and specifically the problem seems to be when it instantiates the {{StatisticsReporter}} at the start of running tests for one class.  Note that if you go up a couple of stack frames, you see this:

{code}
            while ( suites.hasNext() )
            {
                final Object testSet = suites.next();
                Callable<RunResult> pf = new Callable<RunResult>()
                {
                    public RunResult call()
                        throws Exception
                    {
                        DefaultReporterFactory forkedReporterFactory =
                            new DefaultReporterFactory( startupReportConfiguration );
                        defaultReporterFactoryList.add( forkedReporterFactory );
                        ForkClient forkClient =
                                        new ForkClient( forkedReporterFactory,
                                                        startupReportConfiguration.getTestVmSystemProperties() );
                        return fork( testSet, new PropertiesWrapper( providerConfiguration.getProviderProperties() ),
                                     forkClient, effectiveSystemProperties, null );
                    }
                };
                results.add( executorService.submit( pf ) );

            }
{code}

where line 309 is the {{DefaultReporterFactory}} instantiation - so we're creating a bunch of {{Callables}} that are each instantiating a {{DefaultReporterFactory}}, and they're each trying to read the {{.jenkins-HASH}} file; given that, I suspect that one of them is trying to read the file while another one is trying to write it, and so it gets a parse error in the middle of reading.

It seems like the fix in my situation is to remove the {{runOrder}} value from my configuration - the code only reads the statistics on startup when {{runOrder}} is set to {{failedfirst}} or {{balanced}}, so if I remove that line (setting it to {{filesystem}}) then we won't instantiate a {{StatisticsReporter}} at startup.  I'm not too familiar with that configuration, but it's not at all clear to me that the {{failedfirst}} / {{balanced}} configurations work at all in parallel scenarios?  (We set the {{runOrder}} years ago, while we only turned on the parallel test execution relatively recently.)

I'm filing this as Minor for now because I suspect I have a workaround, but hopefully this bug will be useful if other people run into the same issue.
