2 messages Kevin Jervis Reply | Threaded Open this post in threaded view ♦ ♦ | Report Content as Inappropriate ♦ ♦ maven-surefire-plugin: Error creating properties files for forking Hi all, I am having difficulty getting the maven-surefire-plugin to execute some test cases. It seems to be having trouble generating the properties file http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18591411/maven-error-in-jenkins-jmeter-project-error-creating-properties-files-for-fork after compiling the tests successfully, before forking to execute the tests. The preferred environment for executing the maven build is eclipse, but the same results can be observed on the command line. The surefire plugin is configured to always fork. It http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/maven-surefire-plugin-Error-creating-properties-files-for-forking-td91385.html doesn't display the path it is trying to write the properties to, however I would assume this in my Windows XP profile temp directory (since I have seen old surefire properties files left around in this directory in the past) i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\kjervis\Local Settings\Temp. I have also tried overriding my profile defined TMP/TEMP environment variables to point to c:\Temp. Still the issue occurs. I am currently at a loss as how to proceed. The full log can be found attached, but for convenience please find the stacktrace below: Trace org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Error creating properties files for forking; nested exception is java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoals(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:583) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoalWithLifecycle(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:499) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoal(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:478) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoalAndHandleFailures(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:330) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeTaskSegments(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:291) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.execute(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:142)
argument Maven Error This error is not consistent, you can have mvn install run fine then randomly it fails. This makes you http://dougchang333.blogspot.com/2012/12/storm-maven-error-error-creating.html think you caused the error as part of your code https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-573 iteration process. These types of errors waste enormous amounts of time because they can't be pinpointed to the root cause using a simple web search. Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.6:test (default-test) on project Error creating properties files for jenkins error forking; nested exception is java.io.IOException: Invalid argument -> [Help 1] This error message is of course totally useless. One clue for what it is trying to do comes from running mvn -e install Caused by: org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireBooterForkException: Error creating properties files for forking; nested exception is java.io.IOException: Invalid argument Only jenkins error creating says Maven is trying to write to the file system. The clue for the fix comes from this Maven Jira ticket which is only relevant to Maven 2.6: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-573 This error wastes a lot of time because of the poor visibility of the internal state to the UI. And the error messages aren't consistent every time you run Maven. Just depends on when maven needs to write to the property file. This doesn't happen on every incremental build. mvn doesn't list where the properties file it is trying to create is supposed to be .This only holds for maven 2.6 and goes away for maven 2.7. Change the pom.xml to 2.7 From this: org.apache.maven.plugins maven-surefire-plugin 2.6 to this: org.apache.maven.plugins maven-surefire-plugin 2.7 Posted by dougc at 5:36 AM No comments: Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)
