Avro-C: Test 1 (quickstop) requires deflate codec, and fails when it is missing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-1039
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1039
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: c
Affects Versions: 1.6.2
Environment: GNU/Linux Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit
Reporter: Vivek Nadkarni
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.6.3
Summary:
The test/example quickstop requires the deflate codec. However, the deflate
codec is an optional codec, and not a requirement for Avro-C. So the tests
should pass even when the deflate codec is unavailable.
Not sure of the best way to test features dependent on optional libraries, and
(a) pass the tests when the optional libraries are not available, but (b) fail
the tests when the libraries are available, but the code doesn't work properly.
Details:
When I make Avro-C using the following commands from the avro-trunk/lang/c
directory:
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=avrolib -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
make
make test
make install
I get the following messages (as expected, since I don't have the libs):
<snip>
-- Could NOT find ZLIB (missing: ZLIB_LIBRARY ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR)
Disabled deflate codec. zlib not found.
-- checking for module 'liblzma'
-- package 'liblzma' not found
Disabled lzma codec. liblzma not found.
<snip>
But then, during the tests, I get the error:
1/10 Test #1: quickstop ........................***Failed 0.00 sec
And, when I run quickstop manually:
~/avro-trunk/lang/c/build/examples$ ./quickstop
There was an error creating quickstop.db
error message: Unknown codec deflate
Cheers,
Vivek
