Maven build and maven-failsafe-plugin – The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye

I use Docker and https://github.com/fabric8io/docker-maven-plugin for my integration tests.

On my Windows 10 (after updating to Windows 10 1709) machine I faced the following error with my Maven 3.5.0 build:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-failsafe-plugin:2.20.1:verify (default) on project api: There are test failures.

Right now I have no idea what can be wrong, I don’t see any failures with my tests.

What can be a reason of this issue and how to solve it?

UPDATED

My project have the following configuration:

parent pom.xml:

<build>
 <plugins>
  <plugin>
   <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
     <argLine>-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=1024m -noverify</argLine>
    </configuration>
   </plugin>
  </plugins>
 </build>

sub-module pom.xml:

<profiles>
 <profile>
  <id>local</id>
  <build>
   <plugins>
    <plugin>
     <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
     <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
     <configuration>                            
      <skipTests>true</skipTests>
     </configuration>
    </plugin>
   </plugins>
  </build>
 </profile>
</profiles>

As you can see – I added

<argLine>-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xms1024m -Xmx1G -XX:PermSize=1024m -noverify</argLine>

to the configuration of maven-surefire-plugin to my parent pom.xml but it didn’t help.

This is output for Maven build with -e and -X

Windows 10 1709 update

Right now I have thoughts that this issue can be potentially related to the Windows 10 1709 update… I use docker and https://github.com/fabric8io/docker-maven-plugin for my integrstion tests and found the following topic – https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/1221 Something is definitely wrong with this update and virtualization…

Answer

I have the same problem and found three solutions which working for me:

Problem description

Problem is with maven plugin maven-surefire-plugin only in version 2.20.1 and 2.21.0. I checked and you use version 2.20.1.

Solution 1

Upgrade plugin version to 2.22.0. Add in pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.22.0</version>
</plugin>

Solution 2

Downgrade plugin version to 2.20. Add in pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.20</version>
</plugin>

Solution 3

Use plugin configuration testFailureIgnore. Add in pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
