Test methods gets repeatedly executed (18 times) each run

See original GitHub issue

I’ve been having this issue for a while, tests keep running longer and longer but naturally I figured it was in my code. I eventually found out that the test methods are being executed repeatedly (around 18 time) for each test run.

This is a stack trace produced from the EnumTest.class enum_value test method. I have removed all custom runners and anything else I can think of that might be wrong on my end. I also tried to look through the junit code to see if I can find out what is going on but I am lost for words now.

Please see if you can spot anything I am missing. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

And it continues to repeat like this for another 15 times. It happens on every test method in all the test classes.
