Maven build and maven-failsafe-plugin - The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye
I have the same problem 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>
I use the maven-surefire-plugin:2.22.1, but the forked VM still crashes. In my case the configuration forkedProcessExitTimeoutInSeconds for the maven-surefire-plugin helps. The default value are since maven-surefire-plugin:2.20.1 30 seconds. My project gots very time consuming test and so the forked JVM chrashes. Configure the plugin in the pom with the following property solves the problem.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<forkedProcessExitTimeoutInSeconds>120</forkedProcessExitTimeoutInSeconds>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I'm also have error like that, related with forkstarter on the surefire plugin
maybe you can try add this on your pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<argLine>--add-modules java.base ${argLine} -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m</argLine>
<forkCount>3</forkCount>
<reuseForks>true</reuseForks>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Hope, this can help you
