jboss cache transition to binary dependency

ruel.loehr Aug 17, 2005 8:38 PM

I have one issue I need to clarify as I change the build over to use a binary version of JBoss Cache.

From http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBBUILD-131 one of the requirements is:

3. Exclude the unit testing under testsuite for cache module and leave only the MBean integration tests.

I assume you have your own testsuite which you use in your source tree and do not wish to duplicate the tests. However, do we really want to remove the tests from the testsuite as well? Shouldn't we leave them to validate the binary releases that you issue?

Yes, I'd like to remove them, but leave only the integration tests. Let's discuss this over skype.

Moved to the development forums.

I'm not discussing this in private e-mail or Skype.

Ruel. Yes we already agreed that projects can "go binary" provided they
have sufficient integration tests in the JBossAS testsuite.

The possiblity of doing a consolidatied run of all the unit tests across all the JEMS projects
is a feature request of the new build.

For now, we just need cruisecontrol running the unit tests of JBossCache in a separate "job".

As a matter of principle, if JBossCache decided to release version x.y.z
and it was bug ridden, but passed the JBossAS integration tests, then that is
a problem for the JBossCache team releasing a crappy version. :-)

What's your point here, Adrian?

I think what's worthwhile for discussing here is what makes a good integration suite for JBossCache? Now, clustering components that use it like http session, and SFSB (not quite sure about Hibernate yet) all have some basic test in place already.

What's left is perhaps just basic MBean tests.

I'm saying JBoss Cache can be binary because it has integration tests.

Just don't:
break them - caught by the testsuite/cruisecontrol if you do
or
"fix them" - change the tests to hide incompatibilities across versions (not caught by cruisecontrol)
