Testsuite errors and possible resolutions

Where in the TS is the test XY run?

See TestCaseTargetAndServerMapping

Problem: Most of my tests are failing

Possible cause & solution: You are having port conflicts with someone else. To check this, do something like:

sudo /sbin/lsof -i -P | grep 1099

If you see a process bound to : or to the address you are tyring to bind to, the testsuite will not be able to start JBoss correctly.

Problem: Half of my tests are failing

Possible cause & solution: The embedded HSQL DB might have a stale lock which prevents it from starting. Delete your data directory and try again.

rm -r ../build/output/jboss-/server//data

Problem: JaasSecurityDomainUnitTestCase is failing with a FileNotFoundException

Possible cause & solution: There is a conflict with a previous run causing the JaasSecurityDomainUnitTestCase since the /tmp/tst.password cannot be created due to a permission problem.  Delete /tmp/tst.password

Problem: "Exception creating identity: <hostname>" during startup

Fix the hostname of the machine.

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception creating identity: dell-r210-05.mw.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com: dell-r210-05.mw.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com

Problem: All JACC tests fail

Most probably, you have symlinked JBoss AS directory. JACC security checks fail if some path goes through a symlink.

Problem: SRPLoginModuleUnitTestCase.testSRPLoginWithAuxChallenge

Message: Unable to complete login: Failed to complete SRP login, msg=Failed to encrypt aux challenge

Possible cause and resolution (JBoss): This has been installed in the QA lab for /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_09

Possible cause and resolution: The SRPLoginModuleUnitTestCase requires that the unlimited strength crypto package be installed:

java15 java15 java14

Download the zip file from the above location. The standard place for JCE jurisdiction policy JAR files is: $JAVA_HOME\lib\security

Problem: JBoss 4.0.2 testsuite fails to run.

Possible cause and resolution:  The jboss-4.0.2-src tarball does not have the file local.properties in the testsuite directory.  You can download it from http://viewvc.jboss.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/jbossas/tags/JBoss_4_0_2/testsuite/local.properties?revision=54874.

Problem: Having difficulties getting the clustering tests to pass:

You have a few options here. Try adding a -Dnode0=$MYTESTIP_1 -Dnode1=$MYTESTIP_2 where the test ips are one of the five (1-5) valid on a lab qa machine.   Also you can force the multicast address to point to a specific address.  -DudpGroup=239... where the are the starts a valid numbers from 1-255.

Also, clustering tests seem to work best on dev04 qa machine which has a newer kernel version.

Also, see TwoClustersSameNetwork

Problem: Clustering tests fail on Windows:

1. Make sure your firewall is disabled

2. Disable MediaSense

Problem OptimisticLockUnitTestCase fails

Suite:       org.jboss.test.cmp2.optimisticlock.test.OptimisticLockUnitTestCase

Test:        testBug1006723

Type:        error

Exception:   javax.ejb.CreateException

Message:     Error checking if entity exists:java.sql.SQLException: Column not found: \

OIDCMP in statement SELECTCOUNTFROMENTITYAWHEREOIDCMP

This test passes intermintently.  Run it a few times.

Workaround: It is needed to stop jboss, delete data directory in server configuration, start server and run the test again.

JBoss AS locks forever when run on a NFS drive

When nfs lockd is not running, hsqldb locks the process. Ask IT to start it or you could remove hsql.jar

On HP-UX lockd doesn't help. Use local drive (/tmp should be fine).

JBoss AS 4.3.x - Classloaders unregistered: WEBAPP EJB3_SLSB
