Surefire 2.4 is coming
Surefire trunk currently depends on a couple of SNAPSHOT versions that we
expect to be released in the next couple of days, but other than that, as
far as I know, there's nothing else standing in the way of a Surefire 2.4
release. It includes more than 50 bug fixes.
With that said, the more testing we get for Surefire 2.4 the better,
because (as I understand it) people are going to be auto-upgraded to
Surefire 2.4 when it gets released; when Surefire 2.3 came out, it wasn't
uncommon to hear people complaining that their tests used to work earlier
in the week, but post-2.3 no longer work.
The easiest way you can help us test Surefire is to pull down surefire
trunk and do "mvn clean install"; that will run all of the Surefire
integration tests. If any of those fail, please file a bug with a
stacktrace (and the log.txt from your surefire-integration-tests/target
directory, if applicable).
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/surefire/trunk
The second easiest way you can help test Surefire 2.4 is to try the latest
SNAPSHOT out in various projects you support. If you find that Surefire
2.4-SNAPSHOT breaks anything, file bugs and we'll try to address them.
(Reduced test cases in the form of minimal Maven projects that reproduce
the problem would be greatly appreciated.)

No problem found in my build using 2.4 SNAPSHOT, good work. But I
can't put it on production build thou. We test with latest snapshot
from time to time.
Thanks for putting all hard works.

Yes, maven-surefire-plugin-2.4-20071210.231259-19 is latest right now.
(Its various other dependencies like surefire-api, surefire-booter, etc.
are all deployed at the same time.)

Can I assume you already have the latest 1.4 snapshot at Apache's
snapshot repository?

2.0.6 was the first version to shade the plexus-utils dependency away
from the plugins.

That was kind of the intent of 2.3.1 - limited fixes for known
regressions and small issues in 2.3... at least with the work I did on
it I felt pretty confident. I see your point though, and I'm happy
either way, just thought I'd throw the suggestion out there.
Cheers,
Brett

I've been pretty much exclusively testing with 2.0.7. I just ran the 2.4
integration tests with 2.0.6 and 2.0.8 with no problems.
maven-surefire-plugin lists 2.0.6 as a prerequisite, as of revision
598160. "mkleint: plexus-utils version 1.4.x means the plugins requires
2.0.6 at least". Not entirely certain why that is, but there you have it.

+0 on letting 2.4 simmer; -0 on releasing 2.3.1 now. I think I wouldn't
want to let 2.4 simmer for more than two weeks, at the maximum.
What concerns me about 2.3.1 is that it doesn't have integration tests
like 2.4, so it's hard to know for sure whether it really *is* better than
2.3 or whether new bugs have creeped in. (Surefire has a lot of corner
cases and gotchas.)
On the other hand, I feel pretty good about 2.4-SNAPSHOT because it has
been getting a lot of incidental testing through users who want/need
TestNG support. TestNG recommends using 2.4-SNAPSHOT on their website;
pretty much everyone using TestNG and Maven has been using 2.4-SNAPSHOT
all along.
If Surefire didn't automatically grab the latest release, I'd cheerfully
agree to release both and let users sort out what works best for them, but
as it stands I'd prefer to destabilize Surefire infrequently and put all
of our testing eggs in one basket.
With that said, if there's a need for 2.3.1 [Mauro suggested he'd like it
last week :-)] then I certainly won't stand in its way. I'd strongly
suggest that whoever wanted to try this should run the 2.4 integration
tests against 2.3 and then again against 2.3.1 to identify regressions.
Seems like a lot of trouble for not much benefit, IMO.

Re: Surefire 2.4 is coming

Thanks Dan!
I'm just catching up again. I am planning to scan through all the
commits and see if anything catches my eye. I also saw an issue
reported on the users list that I'll drop into JIRA about the new code
working with 2.0.6 - which versions of Maven have you been testing
with? (I've tended to test with 2.0.4 and 2.0.6, but now 2.0.7 and
2.0.8 made sometimes funky changes that are worth running the
integration tests with).
WDYT about continuing with the 2.3.1 release immediately, and giving
2.4 a short time more to simmer? If for any reason 2.4 does break
certain builds, there is still a better-than-2.3 fallback. You can
also use the release ann. to re-encourage testing of 2.4.
And again, thanks - the quantity of work you did here was just
awesome :)

I am hitting http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-409 when
upgrading surefire in the Mojo webstart plugin.
