Re: [aspectj-dev] AspectJ 1.1.1 is on its way... AspectJ 1.1.1rc1 is he

Hi,

I spent a bit of time today doing some install and verification testing of this release candidate on my Linux server. Everything seemed fine. 

On Windows I ran the JUnit and harness tests against the rc on the latest level IBM 131 and 141 JVMs. On the IBM 141 everything passed 100% while on the IBM 131 there were a grand total of three JUnit test failures. These were :-

AjdeModuleTests (1 failure)
-----------------------------------------
testCompileOutput : failure : expected class testdata\AspectJBuildManagerTest\bin\figures\Main.class
                                       junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: expected class testdata\AspectJBuildManagerTest\bin\figures\Main.class
                                       at org.aspectj.ajde.internal.AspectJBuildManagerTest.testCompileOutput(AspectJBuildManagerTest.java:59)


TestingDriversModuleTests (2 failures)
----------------------------------------------------------
testTitleListFileSelectionPluralFailOnly : failure : skips expected:<15> but was:<16>
                                                                junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: skips expected:<15> but was:<16>
                                                                at org.aspectj.testing.drivers.HarnessSelectionTest.checkSelection(HarnessSelectionTest.java:346)
                                                                at org.aspectj.testing.drivers.HarnessSelectionTest.testTitleListFileSelectionPluralFailOnly(HarnessSelectionTest.java:280)


testTitleListFileSelectionPlural : failure : skips expected:<15> but was:<16>
                                                               junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: skips expected:<15> but was:<16>
                                                               at org.aspectj.testing.drivers.HarnessSelectionTest.checkSelection(HarnessSelectionTest.java:346)
                                                               at org.aspectj.testing.drivers.HarnessSelectionTest.testTitleListFileSelectionPlural(HarnessSelectionTest.java:269)


As previously noticed, differences between the IBM 131 reflection implementation and those found in the Sun 131, Sun 141 and IBM 141 JVMs affects the order in which the JUnit tests get run and it looks like this is again responsible for these failing cases (I understand that the IBM reflection code has changed a lot between 131 and 141). By changing the order in which the IBM 131 JVM runs the tests (just moving the methods around the source files) the above "failing" tests can be made to pass. Maybe the fact that we have unit test cases whose success relies on being run in a particular sequence is something we might want to address post 1.1.1 ?

Best regards,
George

To:        ajdt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx, <aspectj-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx>         cc:                 Subject:        [aspectj-dev] AspectJ 1.1.1 is on its way...  AspectJ 1.1.1rc1 is here

We're planning to put out an AspectJ 1.1.1 release soon. To help us get the
quality of the release as high as possible, we have built a release
candidate, 1.1.1rc1.

We appreciate your help in squashing any bugs in this release before
1.1.1.  If you find any bugs, please submit a reproducible test case to
https://dev.eclipse.org (-> Bug Reports) (product AspectJ, component
Compiler for compiler bugs).

You can access the download at
  http://download.eclipse,org/technology/ajdt/aspectj-1.1.1rc1.jar.

There are the following known issues with this release:
* the changes file has not been updated - this will be done by 1.1.1
* there are 'half-a-dozen or so very minor broken docs links'  that can be
repaired in time for 1.1.1

In addition:

A companion AJDT release (1.1.4) is available from the AJDT developer
update
site:

  http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ajdt/dev/update

There is the following known issue with this release of AJDT:
* Building projects that use linked source folders, and contain non-java
resource files causes an IOException when trying to copy the resources into
the output folder. We will fix this ASAP and post an AJDT refresh ahead of
1.1.1.

Thanks,
Adrian, on behalf of The AspectJ Team
