I had the same problem and solved by adding:

<argLine>-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m</argLine>

The whole plugin element is:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <forkCount>3</forkCount>
    <reuseForks>true</reuseForks>
    <argLine>-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m</argLine>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

In my case the issue was related to too long log outputting into IntelliJ IDEA console (OS windows 10).

Command:

mvn clean install

This command solved the issue to me:

mvn clean install > log-file.log

I have very similar problem (Maven build and maven-failsafe-plugin - The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye) and found three solutions which working for me:

Problem description

Problem is with maven plugin maven-surefire-plugin only in version 2.20.1 and 2.21.0. I checked and you use version 2.20.1.

Solution 1

Upgrade plugin version to 2.22.0. Add in pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.22.0</version>
</plugin>

Solution 2

Downgrade plugin version to 2.20. Add in pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.20</version>
</plugin>

Solution 3

Use plugin configuration testFailureIgnore. Add in pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

As of today (10/30/2018), we noticed our builds breaking in Jenkins with this error.

The error is a bit misleading and required looking at the output of the dump in target/surefire-reports/ to see the following error message:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.ForkedBooter

That lead me to the following SO post which mentions a possible bug in OpenJDK 181: Maven surefire could not find ForkedBooter class

Either of the fixes in that post solve my issue. To be specific, I used either one of these:

Switching from building in the docker container maven:3.5.4-jdk-8 to maven:3.5.4-jdk-8-alpine
Overriding Spring Boot's class loader detailed here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50661649/1228408

This part of the Surefire FAQ could help you:

Surefire fails with the message "The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye"

Surefire does not support tests or any referenced libraries calling System.exit() at any time. If they do so, they are incompatible with surefire and you should probably file an issue with the library/vendor. Alternatively the forked VM could also crash for a number of reasons, which can also make this issue happen. Look for the classical "hs_err*" files indicating VM crashes or examine the log output from running maven when the tests execute. Some "extraordinary" output from crashing processes may be dumped to the console/log. If this happens on a CI environment and only after some time runs there is a fair chance your test suite is leaking some kind of OS-level resource that makes things worse for every run. Regular os-level monitoring tools may give you some indication.

Was just facing the same problem, java 8 on ubuntu

then came across https://stackoverflow.com/a/53016532/1676516

It seems a recent bug in the surefire plugin version 2.22.1 with java 8 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1588

followed the suggested workaround through local mvn settings ~/.m2/settings.xml

I had the same issue today and for me the real problem was reported further up in the log with message Cannot use a threadCount parameter less than 1; 1 > 0. When adding <threadCount>1</threadCount> in the surefire-plugin config the other error disappeared.

Full plugin config:

...and yes, I am using both junit and testng in this test framework for backward compatibility reasons.

 The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye. VM crash or System.exit called?

There was a bug in JDK https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8081379

And the solution was to run mvn clean install with param -XX:-UseLoopPredicate

Or just make an update to JDK (I think newer minor version works)

Turn off useSystemClassLoader of maven-surefile-plugin should help

回答10:

If anyone is including a custom argLine argument, you must reconsider because it is likely the source of your issues with the memory allocation.

For Example (I used to have):

<argLine>XX:MaxPermSize=4096m ${argLine}</argLine>

Now I use hard specified values:

<argLine>-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m</argLine>

For whatever reason, Applications that integrate with Surefire such as Jacoco, dont request enough memory to coexist with the testing that happens at build time.

回答11:

I ran into this problem as well in a Jenkins Docker container (tried jenkins:lts, jenkins, jenkins:slim and jenkins:slim-lts. I didn't want to go through all repositories and update the pom for each project, so I just added the disableClassPathURLCheck to the maven command line call:

mvn test -DargLine="-Djdk.net.URLClassPath.disableClassPathURLCheck=true"

回答12:

You need to check if your machine is 64 bit or 32bit. If your machine is 32 bit then your memory argument should not exceed 4096, even it should be below 4 GB. but if your machine is 64 bit then, install Java 64 bit and provide JAVA_HOME in mvn.bat which point to java 64 bit installation.

I recently stuck in with this error while building my containerized jar applications with Bamboo:

org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireBooterForkException: The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye

After many hours of researching I fixed it. And I thought it would be useful to share my solution here.

So the error happen every time when bamboo run mvn clean package command for java applications in the docker containers. I am no Maven expert but the trouble was in Surefire and Junit4 plugins included in spring-boot as maven dependency.

To fix it you need to replace Junit4 for Junit5 and override Surefire plugin in you pom.xml.

1.Inside spring boot dependency insert exclusion:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
    <!-- FIX BAMBOO DEPLOY>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
    <!---->
</dependency>

2. Add new Junit5 dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
    <version>5.1.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.vintage</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-vintage-engine</artifactId>
    <version>5.1.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-platform-launcher</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-platform-runner</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-platform-surefire-provider</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

3. Insert new plugin inside plugins section

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.19.1</version>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-platform-surefire-provider</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
            <version>5.1.0</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</plugin>

That's should be enough to repair bamboo builds. Don't forget also transform all Junit4 tests to support Junit5.

I've met a case when none of the answers provided solved the issue. It was with a legacy application which happens to be using log4j and SLF4J/logback.

The previous situation: clean test builds were running fine when launched from within Eclipse, but when launched in the command line, this error occurred. CI builds on CircleCI ran fine too.

What I did: out of pure guess, is configure a proper logback-test.xml and dial down the verbosity of the logging. Lo and behold, I no longer experienced this error and I can now build the project (as well as the module in which this error was occurring) from the command line.

My point is that the way that the logging frameworks are used or configured may be another explanation.

Was it really a conflict between log4j and logback ? Or was it just that the high volume of logging produced by the tests somehow overflowed a command line buffer? I don't know. It remains a mystery to me.

回答15:

Using maven surefire 2.21.0 I solved the issue changing the reuseForks option value from true to false:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.21.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <reuseForks>false</reuseForks>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

My whole config section under build looked like:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.21.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
                <skip>false</skip>
                <reuseForks>false</reuseForks>
                <argLine>-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m</argLine>
                <argLine>-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8</argLine>
                <useSystemClassLoader>false</useSystemClassLoader>
                <includes>
                    <!--Test* classes for the app testing -->
                    <include>**/directory/Test*.java</include>
                </includes>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Setting this in pom.xml worked for me. But you should check the documentation for other workarounds https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/class-loading.html

I ran into this problem during Jenkins builds on an Ubuntu machine.

/var/log/syslog reported Out of memory: Kill process 19557 (java) score 207 or sacrifice child.

I therefore gave the Ubuntu machine more swap space. Since then, the problem is gone.

回答18:

My resolution to this issue was to Close the damn chrome browser which was choking my computer's memory 🙄

回答19:

You can set java options

SET JAVA_OPTS='-Xmx1024m' XX:+UseLoopPredicate

mvn clean install

回答20:

On Windows (OpenJDK11, Maven 3.6.0, SUREFIRE 3.0.0-M1) I got that root cause:

# Created at 2018-11-14T14:28:15.629

and resolved by increasing the paging file size, e.g like this.

tried all above, didn't work. below solution works for me:

I had the same issue and solved by using Java 8 from Oracle instead of Java 10 from Openjdk

回答23:

The forked JVM used in the test is running out of memory. The solution would be to either disable forking a JVM and running the tests on the main JVM ensuring you have sufficient memory or to pass args to increase the memory of the forked JVM

Check out the solution in this answer

回答24:

I tried all the provided solutions (forking, systemloader, more memory etc..), nothing worked.

Environment: The build failed in gitlab ci environment, running the build inside a docker container.

Solution: We used surefireplugin in version 2.20.1 and upgrading to 2.21.0 or greater (we used 2.22.1) fixed the issue.

Cause: SUREFIRE-1422 - surefire uses the command ps, which wasnt available in the docker environment and led to the "crash". This issue is fixed in 2.21.0 or greater.

Thanks to this answer from another question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50568662/2970422

回答25:

I experienced this error after a static member variable in my test class called a method to create an object (which was used in test cases throughout the class), and the method caused an exception.

// Object created inside test class by calling a static getter.
// Exception thrown in getter:
private static Object someObject = SomeObject.getObject(...);

// ... <Object later used in class>

Some fixes include recreating the object inside each test case and catching any exceptions accordingly. Or by initializing the object inside an @BeforeTest method and ensuring that it is built properly.

回答26:

In my case, the issue was related to workspace path which was to much long. So I did a path refactoring and this solved the issue to me.

回答27:

When I encountered this error it was due to my ulimit for open files (ulimit -n) being too low. It had (somehow) got set to only 256:

% ulimit -n
256

The error went away after I increased the limit:

% ulimit -n 3072
% ulimit -n     
3072

Your system might not allow the limit to be set so high. e.g., this happens when I try to use a larger number:

% ulimit -n 3073
ulimit: setrlimit failed: invalid argument

Or this might be lower than your existing limit and you could be facing a different root cause.

回答28:

In my case, I forgot to add the dependency in the pom:

      <dependency>
          <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
          <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
          <version>1.8.5</version>
      </dependency>

Just make sure that you pick the right version (as for today 1.8.9 is latest)

回答29:

I also experienced this - but in my case I had written a custom hook for cucumber

public class MappingFormatter implements gherkin.formatter.Formatter {

...

one of my methods was producing a Null pointer exception, which caused the surefire to exit without logging the error.

回答30:

Recently travis killed the execution of a test (without having changed anything related (and successful builds on developer machines!)), thus BUILD FAILURE. One of the causes was this (see @agudian answer):

Surefire does not support tests or any referenced libraries calling System.exit()`

(since the test class indeed called System.exit(-1)).

Using a simple return statement instead helps.
To make travis happy again, I also had to add the surefire parameters (<argLine>) provided by @xiaohuo. (also, I had to remove -XX:MaxPermSize=256m to be able to build on one of my desktops)

Doing only one of the two things didn't worked.

For more background read When should we call System.exit in Java.
