I noticed the following issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-2056
I searched for it because we are seeing this in one of our builds. I could use some more information about this. This is apparently a bug in 3.0.0-M6, which is fixed in 3.0.0-M7, which is not released yet. I verified that backing off to 3.0.0-M5 avoids this problem, but we are already forced to use 3.0.0-M6 because test suites don't work in the last release. Is there some other workaround we might be able to implement besides backing off to 3.0.0-M5? The problem seems to occur when this "testRunId" is null, but I don't know what this is, or how it might be controlled or configured in user code. Note that I tried to write this comment in the issue after logging in, but each time I have attempted this (several times over the last few days), it says: ------------------------- Communications Breakdown The Jira server could not be contacted.
