Tests failing on fresh checkout

ashish — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:43:18 GMT

We just started on a project where we have decided to use Alfresco as the CMS tool. As we might be making some modifications, and adding some features specific to our requirement, I was trying to do an initial checkout and run all the tests to ensure that we started from a clean base. But we hit a r

The first test should run OK. What is your dev environment … OS, JVM, IDE ? Are you running from Ant or the IDE ?

The second test requires that the javac encoding is set to UTF-8 (see also build.properties).

I notice that the first test was not re-runnable (due to testCopy) hence would only succeed once after a fresh install/bootstrap. I have now fixed the test by changing:


assertNull("Missing key should return null value", registryService.getProperty(KEY_X_Y_Z_0));

assertNull("Missing key should return null value", registryService.getProperty(KEY_DOES_NOT_EXIST));

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, and the fix.

Our dev environment is Win XP, JDK 1.6.0_04 and Eclipse.
We are trying to run the tests from Ant.
Running tests from IDE fails even more miserably with issues with the classpath, but could be due to the fact that I have always used IntelliJ, and Eclipse seems a bit unfamiliar to me. But I was just trying to follow the setup directions given on the wiki.

The same RegistryServiceImplTest failed with "java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [alfresco/application-context.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist".

For the second test, if it requires javac encoding to be set to UTF-8, then thats already the case in build.properties, as you pointed out. Any reason why it should still fail?

If you have downloaded and setup your env as per http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SVN_Development_Environment and cleaned and re-built everything using:


cd <dev-head>/code/root
ant build-tomcat
‍‍‍‍

then you can try running individual test classes, eg:

ant run-test -Dtestcase=org.alfresco.repo.admin.registry.RegistryServiceImplTest -Dprojectdir=./projects/repository
‍‍

In the first test, please check that 'application-context.xml' still exists in '<dev-head>/code/root/projects/repository/config/alfresco' (as referenced by 'classpath.unit.test' in 'build.xml') and that the basedir has not been overridden, eg.


ant dump-env-properties
‍‍‍

In the second test, you will also need to pre-configure your DB character set to be UTF8 by default. For example, if you're using MySQL on Windows then you can use MySQL Administrator -> Startup Variables -> Advanced panel to set the Default Character Set to 'utf8'.
