Dan Fabulich created SUREFIRE-1041:
--------------------------------------
Summary: JUnit47 provider: Exception in JUnit Runner can crash
test run without visible stack trace
Key: SUREFIRE-1041
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-1041
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Dan Fabulich
Attachments: SUREFIRE-1041.patch
Run the attached Maven project. Surefire is configured to use the JUnit47
provider. There's one test, marked with @RunWith(BadRunner.class); the
BadRunner class throws a NullPointerException in its "run" method.
Expected: The tests should fail with a visible stacktrace; that's what happens
when you don't use the JUnit47 provider.
Actual: The tests fail with this unhelpful error:
{code}
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.16:test (default-test) on
project test: Execution default-test of goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.16:test failed:
java.lang.RuntimeException: null,null,null,null,null: source is null -> [Help 1]
{code}
I'm also attaching a patch that fixes this problem: SimpleReportEntry should
not throw a NPE with a null source/name, but should instead just accept them
and convert them to the string "null." This allows the test to fail naturally
and render the stacktrace in the console output and in surefire reports.
