AFAIK and as you said, JUnit is designed to complete a test suite even a test case is failed. So I think that your request would concern JUnit. Maybe all you need is find a way to tell your test suite fails when the first test case fails.
The surefire plug-in is just a classloader to run test and I think the <testFailureIgnore> property aims only to tell M2 continue its tasks after the test phase and sure fire report can generate report. Personally, I'm using M2.0.4 and integrate the sure fire report in the generated web site so I need <testFailureIgnore> to be true to have the report of failed tests. Moreover, all my tests are executed even some of them fail. ----- Original Message ---- From: Dennis Klavans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: users@maven.apache.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 3, 2006 2:06:45 PM Subject: RE: SureFire (and surefire-reports) plugins This is odd. I just posted a request for the exact opposite to happen. I can't get the thing to stop on the first failure. First, are you running mvn surefire-report:report? If so then perhaps we could help each other by comparing environments. What version of maven are you using? I am on the latest: 2.04. Also, the property you refered to is actually <testFailureIgnore>. Just wanted to confirm that. Still, I did not have that set and mine would not stop. Having looked at the surefire source, I cannot see what would make it stop. Perhaps if the tests were themselves defined in a suite within the testing framework, that suite would fail at the first test? My tests are all individually defined and surefire is the controller running them. I am using the JUnit framework and JUnit seems to trap the exception from an invididual test so that is why surefire keeps going. --- On Thu 08/03, Jon SlinnHawkins < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: From: Jon SlinnHawkins [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: users@maven.apache.org Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2006 09:18:31 +0100 Subject: SureFire (and surefire-reports) plugins Hi All,<br><br>Is there any way of stop a failed surefire unit from immediatley failing a <br>maven build, and allowing it to go on to create the report using the <br>surefire-report plugin.
