Summary: redirectTestOutputToFile is empty when text is written to output too early (SpringJUnit4ClassRunner) Key: SUREFIRE-878 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-878 Project: Maven Surefire Issue Type: Bug Components: Maven Surefire Plugin Affects Versions: 2.12, 2.11, 2.10 Environment: tested on Windows XP + JDK 1.6.29 and Linux (2.6.32) JDK 1.6.24, Maven 2.2.1 Reporter: Jakub Berlinski Priority: Minor Attachments: RedirectTest-output.txt, redirect.zip I'm using a trivial test using SpringJUnit4ClassRunner (RedirectTest.java). The test prints a simple message to the standard output. I run the test with "mvn test" command. When log4j is configured to print some spring execution details (logger set to level INFO) the RedirectTest-output.txt file is empty. To reproduce: unzip "redirect.zip" file run "mvn test" confirm that the file target/surefire-reports/RedirectTest-output.txt is empty Optionally: edit pom.xml file, change maven-surefire-plugin version to 2.9 . run "mvn test" confirm that the file target/surefire-reports/RedirectTest-output.txt is not empty. See attached RedirectTest-output.txt captured using maven-surefire-plugin version 2.9. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
