Hi,
This test-only RFR proposes a tool for timeout testing for the JDK test
library. It runs a task in a separate thread and cancels the task if it
doesn't complete within a given timeout. Any exception thrown by the
task is propagated transparently.
TestNG doesn't currently provide this functionality but it seems like a
handy little tool to have. The webrev includes several sample use cases.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8231710
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jboes/webrevs/8231710/webrev.01/
Any feedback appreciated.
Regards,
Julia
