RE: [wtp-dev] proposed disconnected testing phase

+1. It’s a critical demo scenario.

WTP should be able to run standalone (especially since we need to be able to demo in in conference situations where connectivity is unreliable). There should be no delays or blocking validation problems.

One variant we should test is disconnected use after a period of connected use so the cache gets populated.
We should also test out-of-the-box disconnnected use, and disconnected use on new workspaces.

[wtp-dev] proposed disconnected testing phase

 

 

 





I'd like to propose setting aside a day or two of our M9 test phase to dedicate to testing WTP without an internet connection.  I know in the past we've suffered from bugs in this area.  Some of us are working on solving some of these issues for M9.   I'd like to ensure we give this scenario enough focused attention during the M9 test phase to validate fixes and flush out remaining bugs before we wrap up WTP 1.0 development.  


For those of you who'd like to get started testing 'disconnected' early a tracing tool is available that will allow you to capture stack traces where 'http' internet accesses are attempted [1].  


BTW, in WTP 1.5 I'd like to propose a development mode [2] that discourages the use of internet resource references (that aren't mapped to local files via XML Catalog etc.) and will provide error or warning messages to flag these. This will be to support developers who want to tightly control the resources that are getting fetched from the internet and ensure that disconnected and connected development modes behave consistently (or at least as consistently as possible).  See the bug for more info.
