Description

We want to upgrade from our current 2.5 version of the maven-surefire-plugin to something newer but cannot get past the error below. We've tried versions 2.6, 2.7 up to and including 2.7.3-SNAPSHOT but they all fail.

When setting forkmode to "once" and redirectTestOutputToFile to "true", we get the following error on multiple tests:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.7.3-SNAPSHOT:test (default-test) on project api: Error while executing forked tests.; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: testSetStarting called twice -> [Help 1]

Please see the attachment for full "mvn -e test" output.

If we set the redirectTestOutputToFile to false, it works but we need this option set to true.

Thanks
