[SUREFIRE-1949] Unable to determine lifecycle method name in JUnit Jupiter beforeAll failure

Description

When a @BeforeAll method fails in a JUnit Jupiter lifecycle method, the surefire-report XML file has an empty value for the testname XML attribute. Although the classname attribute is fully populated, we do not know if this lifecycle error was a result of beforeEach or beforeAll.

 

Here is sample code to reproduce the issue

 

import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeAll;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.TestInstance;

import static org.junit.jupiter.api.TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS;

@TestInstance(PER_CLASS)
public class MyFirstTest {

  @BeforeAll
  public void setUp() {
      throw new RuntimeException("Exception in JUnit configuration method");
  }

  @Test
  public void myFirstTest() {
  }

}

 

The maven surefire XML file will have below content:

<testcase name="" classname="com.something.MyFirstTest"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
