Maven surefire question
As I understand it, typically when a JUnit test fails, you want it to stop
right there and report the error (and not continue running tests).
However in some code I recently inherited using the Maven surefire plugin, a
test fails and it keeps going, and going and going and in the end reports 40
test failures.
How do I make it stop and shut down on the first test failure?
thanks
Si'mon

Is each of these in a different testmethod within a single class, such as
testFirst(), testSecond() ? If so, then this is the standard behavior of
JUnit. Each method is considered to be a test and will fail, but the class
may contain multiple tests.

It sounds like you want something like the ANT Junit task haltonerror /
haltonfailure attribute. I don't know of a way of doing this with maven[1];
there doesn't appear to be an equivalent setting. Perhaps you need to raise
a feature request in JIRA[2] if you really need this functionality.
My previous point was that the failure of one test should not cause the
failure of lots of other tests: tests should be small and isolated.
Cheers,

I am not sure I understand. I want to shut down and cause a ripple effect so
that no other tests run.

Alter the tests so that they are isolated and a failure in one does not
cause a ripple effect.
