[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-71?page=comments#action_12419269 ]
Martin van den Bemt commented on SANDBOX-71: -------------------------------------------- Maybe this is some interesting story : http://www.wmware.com/psf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf (If I am not mistaking we (ehh gump) are running on vmware and not on solaris zones (else this doc is pretty much useless). Gump runs on debian btw. In short : a kernel option : clock=pit and in the vmx file the setting tools.syncTime=true (fixed our timing problems on some vmware servers.) Maybe pining infrastructure to see if this is an option that they can set ? > [id] Sporadic test failures in TimeBasesAlphanumericIdentifierGeneratorTest > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SANDBOX-71 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-71 > Project: Commons Sandbox > Type: Bug > Components: Id > Environment: Operating System: other > Platform: All > Reporter: Joerg Schaible > Assignee: Joerg Schaible > Attachments: TimeBasedAIGTest.patch > > The unit tests for TimeBasesAlphanumericIdentifierGenerator fail with Gump > sometimes for unknown reason. Unfortunately it seems, that the exactly test > reports are unavailable. Nevertheless I suspect timing problems that interfere > and may fail running the fixtures of the test within the same time slice. > Therefore was in setUp() a sleep(50) call that might fail to create a unique > operation environment for each test fixture depending on the OS/hardware > environment. This "synchronization" has been replaced with an explicit loop > waiting for the next time slice. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
