Subject: [wtp-dev] breaking behavior of o.e.u.w.d.ImportOperation
Thanks for
chasing down, Ian. Even if its easy to fix your tests, I'd suggest also opening
a bug about the breaking behavior change (on Platform IU).
There is a
chance it was an accidental change they would appreciate knowing about.
Even if
intentional, required, or desired, it does sound like it may be "breaking
API behavior" and should be well documented.
Perhaps your
tests were a special, unrealistic case, but still ... a change in behavior is a
change in API.
Thanks,

Sure
enough, org.eclipse.ui.wizards.datatransfer.ImportOperation has changed in a
way that breaks a few of our (JSF Tools Project) tests. ImportOperation used to
tolerate being constructed with an empty (but not null) path, and now it does
not. We will need to change our test data and test utility slightly to
accommodate the change.

I’ve
taken a look at the failing JSF test cases and have narrowed it down to all
tests that use a specific JSF testing utility method
(ProjectTestEnvironment.createFromZip(…)). This method creates an
org.eclipse.ui.wizards.datatransfer.ImportOperation with an empty
“containerPath”. Running the current JSF code under an older platform/WTP build
(Galileo, or at least close to it) does not complain about this empty path.
When I can find time, I will set up a newer build environment to see if the
change is, as I suspect, to ImportOperation. I don’t think ImportOperation is
necessarily flawed; I think it’s just no longer somehow dealing with being
passed an empty path.
The
short version is, JSF tests are currently failing due to how the tests are
written, and not due to non-test code breakage. It’s highly doubtful that this
could affect anyone else (but you’d be well-advised to check any of your code
that uses ImportOperation).
Happy
Thanksgiving, US folks,

Subject: [wtp-dev] Informally Promoted Build for wtp-R3.2.0-I:
I-3.2.0-20091127073002
At our status meeting last week, we decided we would not have a declared build
this week, since so many were out on holiday.
But a few days after the meeting, some committers (not in the US :) said they
would like a build promoted to 'downloads' to enable some early adopter testing
and development, since M4 is not that far off.
So, I'll promote this latest build, but call it "informally promoted"
instead of "declared" since it has not been tested as we normally do.
I will leave it "invisible" if you look at the plain downloads page, http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/, but if you know this whole
URL you can get right to it.
Download Page:
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.2.0/I-3.2.0-20091127073002/
Hopefully this will prevent people from casually downloading it, thinking it
was just like every other I-build. Hopefully it is a good build, but since we
have not smoke tested it, we can not confidently say much about it.
There are a few JUnit failures that appear significant. They occur in the JSF
tests, but suspect they are due to changes made elsewhere?
