JUnit test failures stop the build, but test errors do not

[Heinrichs, Dirk]

Hi,

I've just joined a project which is using Maven for its builds. When running JUnit tests, the build fails if there is a build failure, but it does not fail if there is a test error.

I'm new to maven so I'd like to know wether this is expected behaviour or not, and if there is a way to make it fail on test errors, too (I didn't find anything in the documentation).

Thanks...

This is not the default behaviour, but can be set as a configuration
option (not recommended under normal circumstances):
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#testFailureIgnore

Are there any configuration settings for the surefire plugin in the
project pom?

Kind regards,
Ben.

There's no such setting in the projects POMs, so I tried running the
build with an explicit -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=false, but it didn't
make a difference.

I didn't find any.

Bye...

You probably want to make sure you're running at least verision 2.11
of surefire. 2.12 is the latest.

It's 2.10 here. I guess updating surefire would make the very next build
fail, right?

Thanks a lot...
