Description

Surefire only reports the exception from a try-with-resources body, not any suppressed exceptions from close methods. I see this behavior from the attached AutoCloseableMain.java:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: from body
        at AutoCloseableMain.main(AutoCloseableMain.java:9)
        Suppressed: java.io.IOException: from close
                at ThrowIOExceptionOnClose.close(AutoCloseableMain.java:17)
                at AutoCloseableMain.main(AutoCloseableMain.java:10)

I see a different behavior from the attached AutoCloseableTest.java:

java.io.IOException: from body
        at com.maginatics.AutoCloseableTest.testAutoCloseable(AutoCloseableTest.java:14)

Surefire could call Throwable.getSuppressed via reflection to maintain compatibility with earlier versions of Java. Refer to Guava Closer which does something similar.
