Surefire Maven plugin: “Corrupted STDOUT by directly writing to native stream in forked JVM”

Question

My JUnit tests are failing when running them through Maven and the Surefire plugin (version information below). I see the error message:

Corrupted STDOUT by direc         


        

Answer 1

I was getting this error when running Maven build in Intelij Idea. I had a couple of projects open in separate windows and had other strange errors in a different project.

Solved for me by closing all the Intellij Idea windows and re-opening the project. No dependencies versions were changed.
