I am using geb spock maven, with surefire version 2.22.0 on ubuntu. Till 2 weeks back it was working fine, but suddenly I am gettig ExecutionException The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye. VM crash or System.exit called? error. Below is my configuration:

Maven Version: Apache Maven 3.6.0 

Java version: openjdk version "1.8.0_181"

M3_HOME : /opt/maven

When I hit mvn -Dtest="some test " test command it throws below error:

ExecutionException The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye. VM crash or System.exit called?

Command was /bin/sh -c cd /home/web/workspace/Durgesh_Delete1 && /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java -jar /home/web/workspace/Durgesh_Delete1/target/surefire/surefirebooter1782527278200611298.jar /home/web/workspace/Durgesh_Delete1/target/surefire 2018-11-16T11-10-54_226-jvmRun3 surefire2754275980317815656tmp surefire_01299389042676135686tmp

Please look into this issue. Thanks

Finally, I am able to solve this by adding below line under configuration tag of surefire plugin:

<configuration>

    <useSystemClassLoader>false</useSystemClassLoader>

    <threadCount>1</threadCount>

</configuration>

This has been mentioned in the solution suggested by Rushby in above comment, unfortunately no one has voted that answer so was difficult to catch. Thanks!
