Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-1261: ---------------------------------------- [~hohwille] .. but we are doing such things. See this http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/shutdown.html IMHO you run the build next time without significant delay. Try to wait a minute and the process should be gone. > surefire hangs of failed tests and keeps lock on surefirebooter on Windows > preventing clean > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1261 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1261 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Maven Surefire Plugin, process forking > Affects Versions: 2.17, 2.19.1 > Environment: Apache Maven 3.3.9 > (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T17:41:47+01:00) > Maven home: C:\project\software\maven > Java version: 1.8.0_66, vendor: Oracle Corporation > Java home: C:\project\software\java\jre > Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252 > OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "dos" > Reporter: Jörg Hohwiller > > I have Spring-Tests run with surefire in a plain commandline maven build on > windows. For whatever reason many tests fail with spring initialization > exception. If I cancel the build in this case ([ctrl][c]) and then restart a > clean build maven failes to delete the target directory. Using sysinternal > tools I traced down that a java.exe process is hanging that locks a JAR > called surefirebooter located in target. This is IMHO the forked process from > the maven surefire plugin that was not terminated properly when the maven > process was cancelled. > You might need to register a shutdown hook in maven-surefire that properly > cleans up the forked process. But this is just a brute guess... > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17465117/maven-surefirebooter -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
