FastCSV's allowExtraCharsAfterClosingQuote is incompatible with the relaxed parser JUnit needs, so it is not enabled (maintainer note). Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Exception text in the issue was read via WebFetch summarizer; message formats verified in FastCSV 4.4.0 source and JUnit source. - junit-framework #4693 was milestoned 6.0.0-M2 and closed; maintainer authorship of the cause statement not verified. Other error fragments: - Unexpected character after closing quote: '%c' (0x%x) (record starting at line %d) - Unclosed quoted field at end of input (record starting at line %d) Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junit-team/junit-framework/6c8ca116941611df2d4e2e8319ab8cb3e520afe7/junit-jupiter-params/src/main/java/org/junit/jupiter/params/provider/CsvArgumentsProvider.java (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): handleCsvException wraps parser errors in CsvParsingException('Failed to parse CSV input configured via ' + annotation). - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junit-team/junit-framework/6c8ca116941611df2d4e2e8319ab8cb3e520afe7/junit-jupiter-params/src/main/java/org/junit/jupiter/params/provider/CsvReaderFactory.java (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Uses FastCSV CsvReader.builder() with trimWhitespacesAroundQuotes and configured quoteCharacter. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osiegmar/FastCSV/v4.4.0/lib/src/main/java/de/siegmar/fastcsv/reader/RelaxedCsvParser.java (official_docs, 2025, documented_behavior): Relaxed parser throws 'Unexpected character after closing quote: ...' and 'Unclosed quoted field at end of input ...'. - https://github.com/junit-team/junit-framework/issues/4693 (github_issue, 2025-06, maintainer_confirmed_cause): Maintainer task (milestone 6.0.0-M2): @CsvSource(value = "'foo'bar") now throws since uniVocity allowed it; allowExtraCharsAfterClosingQuote incompatible with RelaxedParser; document in release notes.
