Henning Gross commented on SUREFIRE-952: ---------------------------------------- 18:59:36 org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.13:test (default-test) on project tds-util-lib: groups/excludedGroups require TestNG or JUnit48+ on project test classpath Happened to me in a module that does not have any tests and therefore does not include junit. The check should not be performed when there are not test classes at all, dont you think? I now need to include the dependency in every module in my multi-module-project. > Incompatibility with future release 4.12 of junit (Categories) > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-952 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-952 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Junit 4.x support > Affects Versions: 2.12.2, 2.12.4 > Reporter: Henning Gross > Priority: Blocker > > Junit is introducing some interesting new features on Categories in 4.12. > @Category will become @Inherited and @ExcludeCategory/@IncludeCategory will > accept a class-array instead of just a single class. As we need these > urgently we are currently testing with the current snapshot of junit > (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/junit/junit/4.12-SNAPSHOT/). > Unfortuneately the version seems to be incompatible. > All tests are executed always. Regardless of the settings in <groups> or > <excludedgroups>. Using 4.11 works fine. I do not know why this happens and > therefore cannot provide a patch but I would love to see it fixed. If someone > points me at the cause I will happily find a solution. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
