Looks like some of the log that you posted got truncated (the last few lines where it prints out the JVM being used and the command being used to launch the tests). On my setup, this is what i see at the point where it prints out the surefire-report directory path: | [DEBUG] Adding to surefire test classpath: /opt/maven/repository/junit/junit/4.0/junit-4.0.jar | [DEBUG] Adding to surefire test classpath: /opt/maven/repository/org/apache/maven/surefire/surefire-api/2.4.3/surefire-api-2.4.3.jar | [DEBUG] Test Classpath : | [DEBUG] /home/jaikiran/business/jboss/wc/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/jmx-mc-int/target/test-classes | [DEBUG] /home/jaikiran/business/jboss/wc/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/jmx-mc-int/target/classes | ... | ... // more jars | [DEBUG] Setting system property [user.dir]=[/home/jaikiran/business/jboss/wc/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/jmx-mc-int] | [DEBUG] Setting system property [localRepository]=[/opt/maven/repository] | [DEBUG] Setting system property [basedir]=[/home/jaikiran/business/jboss/wc/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/jmx-mc-int] | [DEBUG] Using JVM: /opt/Java/JDK-1.5/jdk1.5.0_17/jre/bin/java | [INFO] Surefire report directory: /home/jaikiran/business/jboss/wc/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/jmx-mc-int/target/surefire-reports | Forking command line: /bin/sh -c cd /home/jaikiran/business/jboss/wc/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/jmx-mc-int && /opt/Java/JDK-1.5/jdk1.5.0_17/jre/bin/java -jar /tmp/surefirebooter9158031584251228859.jar /tmp/surefire7578455768119761850tmp /tmp/surefire177397608880296859tmp | | ------------------------------------------------------- | T E S T S | ------------------------------------------------------- | Running org.jboss.test.system.metadata.value.alias.test.AliasValueUnitTestCase | Tests run: 3, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.353 sec | Running org.jboss.test.system.controller.lifecycle.seperated.test.DependsBrokenInstantiateNewUnitTestCase | ... | ... | ... // more testcase output So i guess, its something to do with the command failing to launch java.
