Another thing I can't understand. I am trying to move XB tests to the jbossxb project from the testsuite of the JBossAS. I run the tests with 'mvn test' having the following in the pom.xml <plugin> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <printSummary>true</printSummary> <disableXmlReport>true</disableXmlReport> </configuration> </plugin> Then for the following testcase I can see: Test set: org.jboss.test.xml.AnnotatedPojoServerUnitTestCase ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tests run: 11, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.691 sec <<< FAILURE! which is unexpected. The expected result would be 3 failures and 1 error. If I add <test>AnnotatedPojoServerUnitTestCase</test> to the plugin configuration above, meaning run only this test. I get: Test set: org.jboss.test.xml.AnnotatedPojoServerUnitTestCase ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tests run: 11, Failures: 3, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 2.343 sec <<< FAILURE! Which is what is expected. This is the first test to run in both scenarios. So, I don't think it's related to forking mode. Alexey Alexey Loubyansky wrote:
