Error running maven tests on jsonix - how to debug? - jsonix

Question

I have just downloaded jsonix and when I run maven it fails its built-in tests, with the following error:
FAILURES: 2/898 assertions failed (332ms)
npm ERR! Test failed. See above for more details.
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Reactor Summary for Jsonix 2.4.2-SNAPSHOT:
[INFO]
[INFO] Jsonix ............................................. SUCCESS [ 0.698 s]
[INFO] Jsonix Scripts ..................................... SUCCESS [ 9.933 s]
[INFO] Jsonix Node.js ..................................... SUCCESS [ 0.014 s]
[INFO] Jsonix Node.js Scripts ............................. FAILURE [ 4.296 s]
[INFO] Jsonix Node.js Tests ............................... SKIPPED
...etc other skipped tests omitted
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD FAILURE
I really don't know my way around maven very well, and despite the "see above for more details" message, I don't actually see any details that can help me debug this.
Any suggestions on how to debug or fix this would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Please use Jsonix issue tracker to ask project-specific question.
Check pom.xml of the failing scripts module:
<execution>
<id>npm-test</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<executable>npm</executable>
<arguments>
<argument>test</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
So apparenty Maven simply executes npm test in the test phase. You can, too:
jsonix/nodejs/scripts> npm test
> jsonix#2.4.2-SNAPSHOT test ...\jsonix\nodejs\scripts
> nodeunit tests/tests.js
...

OK: 898 assertions (696ms)
If some tests are failing you can redirect the output to files (npm test >std.log 2>err.log) and check which tests are failing.
Please file issues so this will be fixed.
At the moment I can't reproduce this, the build is green on my local machine.
