Pavel_K :
I have a simple JPMS module. When I use the maven-surefire-plugin 2.20.1 everything is ok - my tests are executed:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.20.1</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-platform-surefire-provider</artifactId>
<version>1.3.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
However, when I want to use newer versions of surefire (2.21.0 or 2.22.0) I get the following:
Please refer to dump files (if any exist) [date]-jvmRun[N].dump, [date].dumpstream and [date]-jvmRun[N].dumpstream.

And in surefire-reports I see the following:

How to fix/explain it? Is this a bug or I have mistake somewhere?

This is a bug in path building. See this issue and my first comment to it.
