The past few days it has not been possible to run suites.All on phoneME
advanced, junit will just exit with an InvocationTargetException when
trying to invoke the suites.All.suite() method. Unwrapping the exception
shows that the underlying reason is a NoClassDefFoundError from the
invoke() call in AllPackages.addSuiteByReflection() when trying to load
the new JMX suite.
Now, this suite is compiled into 1.5 classfiles, so the Class.forName()
call before the invoke() should have failed with
UnsupportedClassVersionError. It does fail as expected when running with
jdk 1.4, but on phoneME advanced it does not, I think it has to be a bug
in phoneME advanced.
Now, I was pondering if it would make sense to also catch
InvocationTargetException from the try block below, unwrap it and see if
it is an instance of LinkageError and if so skip the testsuite. This
would make it possible to run the tests on phoneME advanced, despite the
bug. Any reason why this would be a bad idea?
private static Test addSuiteByReflection(String className) throws Exception
{
try {
Class clz = Class.forName(className);
Method sm = clz.getMethod("suite", null);
return (Test) sm.invoke(null, null);
} catch (LinkageError e) {
return new TestSuite("SKIPPED: " + className + " - " +
e.getMessage());
}
}
