After upgrading our micro service pom to use Spring Boot 2.1.0 RELEASE (from 2.0.5 RELEASE) we start to get occasional build failures. Anyone seen this and have a resolution (see error below)?

Maven command: mvn clean install

Build fail during test execution on test annotated with:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest

Java: 

java version "10.0.2" 2018-07-17
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.2+13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.3 (build 10.0.2+13, mixed mode)

Snippets from our pom that seems to be causing the issue.

Surefire plugin from pom:

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <!-- Below 955m we get failures "VM crash or System.exit called?". Set with safety margin. -->
                    <argLine>@{argLine} -Xmx2048m</argLine>
                    <includes>
                        <include>**/*Tests.java</include>
                        <include>**/*Test.java</include>
                    </includes>
                    <excludes>
                        <exclude>**/*IT.java</exclude>
                        <exclude>**/*ManualTest.java</exclude>

                </configuration>
            </plugin>

We also use Jacoco:

                <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>

                        <exclude>**/is/applicon/wsapi/*/*.*</exclude>
                    </excludes>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>default-prepare-agent</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>prepare-agent</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

Demonstration answered 15/11, 2018 at 12:24 Comment(12)
What, if anything, is in the dump files and log files produced by Surefire? Also, it's worth noting that Java 10 is no longer supported. I would recommend upgrading to Java 11. – Imaginative
I will try with Java 11. – Demonstration
Is the test class also annotated with @SpringBootTest? – Tripletail
@Demonstration What is the comment Below 955m we get failures "VM crash or System.exit called?". Set with safety margin. Can you please try with a lower / higher memory than what you have used? – Frederique
@Frederique I work with thek and I'm the one who added that comment. It turned out that the problem can occur both with the default max heap and with 4GB max heap. Doesn't seem to be the solution. – Aparejo
@Tripletail Yes. I updated question. – Demonstration
If you are using spring boot remove the strange configuration for maven-surefire-plugin from your pom file cause Spring Boot parents already do this correctly for you ...apart it would be helpful to have full error output and not only excerpts... – Lukasz
Thanks. We'll remove the surefire plugin and try. Note. Could not include complete dump file since it was too large. – Demonstration
Full dump file: pastiebin.com/5bee9d82a7771 – Demonstration
Any other thoughts why this might occur? I am having same problem in all builds after upgrading Boot. – Tollman
@Tollman We still get the issue... Using Spring Boot 2.1.4 and jacoco-maven-plugin 0.8.4 we still occasionally get the failure. We've also updated java version: java -version openjdk version "11.0.1" 2018-10-16 OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13, mixed mode) – Demonstration
One possible solution, with one obvious drawback, is to remove jacoco-maven-plugin from the pom. – Demonstration

Actually error case looks like is about failing to fork process in jwm.

Error occurred in starting fork, check output in log [ERROR] Process Exit Code: 134

An alternative approach to removing jacoco-maven-plugin as thek montioned, you can override forkCount for maven-surefire-plugin if fork count does not matter with your case.

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <forkCount>0</forkCount>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

Also you can check details about forking parallel test processes.
