Description Walter Harley

The org.eclipse.jdt.apt.pluggable.tests_linux.gtk.x86_5.0 FilerTests test is failing in the automated framework, about one time in two.

The test does not fail on Windows, nor does it fail on a Sun 1.6.0_03 JVM on Linux nor a JRockit 1.6.0_02 JVM on Linux, but it does seem to fail on earlier 1.6 VMs on Linux.  Best guess is that there is a bug related to deleting a file and then checking for its existence, but that is just an unconfirmed guess at this point.

We have tried disabling automatic builds during the test case, and tried inserting a 500msec pause and retry if exists() on the file in question returns false.  Neither has solved the problem.

This appears to be failing on the Sun 1.6.0_03 VM as well.  It continues to pass reliably on Windows and on JRockit 1.6.0_02 on Linux.

A simple test of repeatedly creating a file, deleting it, and checking whether it exists does not fail, so something trickier must be going on.

Reassigning to jdt-apt-inbox, per http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Bug_Triage_Change_2009.

Still an issue on gerrit (linux), but I couldn't reproduce locally (also linux).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
