Re: [platform-releng-dev] Heads up on test failures ...

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to keep everyone informed, the problem
with the windows tests was primarily due to having "java.io.tmp"
incorrectly defined, so some file paths were ending up being hundreds and
hundreds of characters long ... and we all know Windows doesn't like that.


AND THEN, to try and re-run the tests,
I could not "wipe out" the Hudson workspace from the previous
run. The tests from 0821 Nightly might mostly be ok, since each of them
primarily run under their own "buildId space", but I'm sure there
is some opportunity for "interference" from previous, failed
run. 

Bottom line, take any failures of what's
currently running (for 0821 build) with a grain of salt, and we'll hope
the IT Staff can get the machine cleaned up on Friday. (Bug 442328).


Thanks, and apologies for the delays.

Heads up on test failures ...

I don't know if anyone noticed, but
last night we did not get any "Windows Tests" (with 0820 N-build)
due to Hudson "going down". (bug 442229).

Rather than re-run them today, I have been focusing on getting the refactored
"production test scripts" in place. And judging from the Windows
results I got, apparently there are some path problems, or properties I'm
not setting, or something. See Windows results at 

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/N20140820-2000/testResults.php

So if the problem is obvious to anyone (such as on "what's required")
let me know. Otherwise I'll continue looking for clues, and we'll see how
a "top to bottom" run turns out. 

Plus, second heads up, I can't get the Mac tests to run at all, at the
moment ... (bug 442322)
... not sure if I can work around that one on my own, or not, or if I need
to wait for webmasters to upgrade Ant. (the right way). 

I haven't tried the Linux tests on eclipse.org, but that's where I tested
the refactoring (on my Linux machines) so for now, will hope they are more
"normal". 

Just wanted you to know what I know ... 

Thanks,
