[SUREFIRE-1480] parallel tests may produce invalid .xml report

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 2.20.1
• Component/s: Junit 4.7+ (parallel) support, Maven Failsafe Plugin, Maven Surefire Plugin
• Assignee: Unassigned

Description

Relevant software:

• Jenkins 2.108
• Maven 3.??
• JUnit 4.12
• maven-failsafe-plugin 2.20.1 (I have seen this issue with surefire as well)

I have a testsuite (one JUnit class) that contains multiple tests (multiple JUnit methods), which are all run in parallel. Some of the tests may be ignore using JUnit Assume.

On occasion (not 100% reproducible), the resulting report will contain an entry like:

< message="Skip test!">

The correct entry, as is produced most of the time, should be:

<skipped message="Skip test!"/>

The invalid formatted XML, when run in Jenkins, results in the test being flagged as failed, and Jenkins simply has the message: "TEST-....xml.[failed-to-read]" (the dots are replaced with the correct filename!).
