Hi @mikedombo,

Thank you for being here!
Is there any error reported? Did you try to pipe the test result and then for check? Could you please share your repo/sample repo for further investigation?

Thanks

This is the end of the output that we get. Just before this output is the beginning of our test run output, we’d expect many many more lines, so powershell is definitely hiding some output. Our tests fail, which is fine, so that’s why powershell shows the exit code of 1.

Sorry, but I cannot share the repository with you. I’ll see if I can get an example that has the same issue.

EDIT:
I tried to just redirect the output to a file, but even the file was missing most of the output. This is very strange indeed because when we run the same maven command interactively, we do see all of the output. So it seems like there’s somethin different either in powershell or maven when not running interactively.

Hi @mikedombo,

Thanks for your reply!
This error could be caused by that command doesn’t exit properly. Please add & exit 0 with your script or command. Please refer to the similar ticket for your reference.
Besides, if the workflow logs do not provide enough detail to diagnose why a workflow, job, or step is not working as expected, you can enable additional debug logging. Please check doc here for more details.

Thanks.

Sorry, but that’s not correct. Exiting with a failure is correct because the build failed.

The timeline is
Start maven
Get 100 lines of output
Junit surefire tests start
Get a couple more lines of output
10 minutes later, when the tests have been outputting thousands of lines which don’t appear, then maven exits 1 because the build failed.

We should have tons of logs, the same that we get on Linux, during the 10 minutes of testing. However, nothing shows up until the error message that it exited non-zero, which again is expected.

Running the same command in powershell on the same host works as expected and we get all the standard output

Hi @mikedombo,

The runner prepends $erroractionpreference='stop' which may halt execution. Could you please add $erroractionpreference = 'continue' to your script for a try?
Add & exit 0 to the command will not affact the test result, but help to return an exit code to runner.
Please also try to enable debug logging, and if possible provide more error details for further investigation.

Thanks.

Adding & exit 0 doesn’t work due to
