Major I am submitting this as per Richard Mortimer's suggestion in https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-12037?focusedCommentId=160224&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-160224
I've just posted on the mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/jenkinsci-users/browse_frm/thread/7f96cdf57ffed6cf# ) - perhaps this is the same issue.
I have a multi-module project where I'm running the Maven goal "clean
surefire-report:report".
While the tests pass in our local machines, we're randomly having failures
in one of the modules in Jenkins. The console shows:
mavenExecutionResult exceptions not empty message : Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12:test (default-test) on project cm-web: Error occurred in starting fork, check output in log cause : Error occurred in starting fork, check output in log Stack trace : org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12:test (default-test) on project cm-web: Error occurred in starting fork, check output in log
We have Jenkins running in Tomcat and by running the build and inspecting
tomcat's log I see:
SEVERE: I/O error in channel Channel to Maven [java, -cp,
/usr/share/tomcat6/.jenkins/plugins/maven-plugin/WEB-INF/lib/maven3-agent-1.2.jar:/usr/share/tomcat6/.jenkins/tools/Jenkins_maven/boot/plexus-classworlds-2.4.jar,

Restarting tomcat makes the problem go away (until it "randomly" appears again after a few days)
