             Summary: Spring Boot Context Failure using Surefire Plugin and -f ./pom.xml
                 Key: SUREFIRE-1576
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1576
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: classloading
    Affects Versions: 2.22.0
         Environment: Ubuntu, RHEL, OSX, W7
            Reporter: Steven Gantz


When running the Maven Surefire Plugin under specific circumstances, the Spring context fails to load properly and presents multiple errors.

I reached out to the Spring boot repository on Github and had the following discussion: [https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/14649]

The short version is that when running the following command:

{{mvn clean install -f ./pom.xml}}

The classpath is built like so:

{{[file:/Users/awilkinson/Downloads/whacky-pom/./target/test-classes/|file:///Users/awilkinson/Downloads/whacky-pom/target/test-classes/] [file:/Users/awilkinson/Downloads/whacky-pom/./target/classes/|file:///Users/awilkinson/Downloads/whacky-pom/target/classes/]}}

 Below is a comment from a spring boot maintainer:

This looks like a bug in Surefire to me. When the build is run with {{-f ./pom.xml}} that paths in the manifest of the Surefire Booter jar have extraneous {{/./}} segments in their paths:

 

The simple solution is to not do ./pom.xml. However, this issue is occurring in our CI server where most teams use {{-f ./pom.xml}} implicitly as they just pass that in as the pom path. However, this only happens in projects using Spring-Data-JPA and a specific list of dependencies.

Is this by design? Is it possible the library is using the paths improperly and it isn't surefire?

Is this a bug to be fixed?

I think I can patch the CI server to handle this, but it can potentially happen to anyone. Just looking for feedback and potential action.

On a side note, this is my first foray into any type of open source software "contribution/interaction" wise, so please feel free to point out anything I've done incorrectly.

If pointed in the right direction, I'd love to attempt a PR to resolve this issue.
