Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT Gerrit jobs are failing

[Leo Ufimtsev <Leonidas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been investigating this.

It seems that maven is running new jUnit tests against an older SWT code base.

Evidence is that SWT version is old with maven.

Locally, jUnits print:
 - SWT.getVersion(): 4806

Locally/remotley, maven jUnits print older SWT version:
  SWT.getVersion(): 4756   # locally
  SWT.getVersion(): 4757   # latest maven/gerrit logs.

~Theory:

Maybe the changes to open backport branches (or changes to Neon->Oxygen) made maven checkout older SWT versions instead of building the new one from sources.

I posted relevant details into bug submission.

Sravan is currently investigating the problem. SWT-GTK-devs please take a look & comment on the bug if you know anything about the test failures.

It's a bit of mystery so far. The tests that are failing have been in master for almost 2 weeks, yet they only started failing yesterday morning.

Leo and I did some brief investigations yesterday and were unable to reproduce the failures by running them locally via Eclipse. However Leo mentioned that the tests were failing when run locally via maven.

We will continue to investigate. Nothing that has been committed in the last 48 hours seems to have broken anything.
