VM crash or System.exit called? Key: SUREFIRE-1541 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1541 Project: Maven Surefire Issue Type: Bug Components: Maven Surefire Plugin Affects Versions: 2.22.0 Reporter: Anghel Botos
Attempting to run integration tests using maven-failsafe-plugin with {{-Dmaven.failsafe.debug=false}} yields the following stacktrace: {noformat} [ERROR] ExecutionException The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye. VM crash or System.exit called? [ERROR] Command was cmd.exe /X /C ""C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\jre\bin\java" false -jar C:\Users\ANGHEL~1.BOT\AppData\Local\Temp\surefire8539836821793811485\surefirebooter6734575521909210279.jar C:\Users\anghel.botos\AppData\Local\Temp\surefire8539836821793811485 2018-07-24T11-18-12_704-jvmRun1 surefire7184511894589995478tmp surefire_411836142070426630764tmp" [ERROR] Error occurred in starting fork, check output in log [ERROR] Process Exit Code: 1 [ERROR] at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.booterclient.ForkStarter.awaitResultsDone(ForkStarter.java:494) [ERROR] at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.booterclient.ForkStarter.runSuitesForkPerTestSet(ForkStarter.java:441) [ERROR] at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.booterclient.ForkStarter.run(ForkStarter.java:293) [ERROR] at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.booterclient.ForkStarter.run(ForkStarter.java:245) {noformat} The issue is the "free-floating" {{false}} that appears in the command line used to start a new JVM. I've traced down the issue to {{org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.AbstractSurefireMojo#getEffectiveDebugForkedProcess}} where the following code can be found: {code:java} String debugForkedProcess = getDebugForkedProcess(); if ( "true".equals( debugForkedProcess ) ) { return "-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE" + " -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005"; } return debugForkedProcess; {code} ...which is quite..."unexpected" to see that one can pass in a value of {{true}}, but not a value of {{false}}. Please fix with a proper parsing of true/false values for the {{maven.failsafe.debug}} property. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
