I've been playing around with trying to get the groovy-core and all of its tests build using Maven2... but I keep running into problems with surefire, where it sometimes does not show "Running <testcase>" for anything.

I've see something like this too, where it dosen't show anything at all:

<snip>

[INFO] There are test failures.

</snip>

As well as partial output:

It doesn't even show what happened to VerboseTreeTest... just output ends.

I can get output when forkMode is never, but that doesn't help since I need to force, and would like to forkOnce.

It seems like some of these tests are spitting out some extra output before the tests even run too, which may be confusing surefire? For example a few test cases have constructor methods that System.out.println() via the println keyword in Groovy. This seems to throw off the output I see when running mvn.

For example 2 classes have constructors that have:

    println "Hey"

And when run with forkMode never, I get output like:

<snip>
[INFO] [surefire:test]
[INFO] Surefire report directory: /Users/jason/ws/groovy/groovy-core- reorg/groovy-core/target/surefire-reports
Hey
Hey

If I change the forkMode to once, then I don't see any output past where the report directory is. If I go and comment out those println "Hey" lines, then output gets further, but still stops (see the partial output that ends with "Running groovy.tree.VerboseTreeTest" above.

This is *very* bizarre that the output of a testcase has such an effect on the output of the surefire plugin.

This seems to happen with surefire 2.3 when redirectTestOutputToFile is true.

It would really be nice to get redirectTestOutputToFile working with forkMode once... and have it reliably capture the tests output.

Anyone run into this problem before?
