[jira] Commented: (SUREFIRE-446) Surefire fails to capture TestNG
results when forkMode=always
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-446?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_122701 ]
Benjamin Bentmann commented on SUREFIRE-446:
--------------------------------------------
bq. This certainly explains how Benjamin found this bug... ;-)
What should I say, I am just evil minded ;-)
bq. it isn't necessarily safe to do so
The same is true with running tests in parallel. If your test suite contains non-thread-safe method calls, well, multi-threaded tests are a bad idea, too. So, is Surefire going to drop its parameter "parallel" because an incompotent user could make the tests errorneously fail? I wouldn't feel quite comfortable with a build tool that restricts me from doing something just because it *might* not work although - for a special use-case - it *will* work.
bq. Short of that, it's hard to see how we can hack it into Surefire on top of the framework that's already in place.
Naively spoken, I would expect that forkMode=always behaves as if {{TestNGDirectoryTestSuite}} found only a single test class.
