Description

Surefire Report Plugin crashes with a NullPointerException when executing the attached failsafe-summary.xml.

The exception handling could be improved on this position. I've surrounded saxParser.parse( new File( xmlPath ), this ); in TestSuiteXmlParser.java with a try/catch.

The NullPointerException happens in the characters method on currentElement.

Here's the StackTrace:
