[linuxtools-dev] Fwd: [Hudson] Hudson build is still unstable: linuxtool

[Bernd Hufmann <bhufmann@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

In noticed that some JUnit tests of our build have been failing since
yesterday. I focused on the LTTng/TMF/CTF test plug-ins. I noticed
that the order of test methods executed within a JUnit test file
changed for some reason. And it looks like that some test are
dependent on other tests to be executed before. Then I was wondering
why did the order change. I noticed that JUnit version 4.11 is used
instead of 4.10 and in that release the way changed how the order of
execution is determined (see [1]). There is a fix using an annotation
provided by JUnit Test 4.11, however this would require every designer
has to upgrade to 4.11. Since Eclipse Juno comes with 4.10 this is not
really an option right now. So in the end we need to make all test
cases independent from each other.

I'm not sure if the test failures for GCov are caused by this but it
is worth considering it.
