Niels Basjes created AVRO-1842:
----------------------------------
Summary: Java: Move generated test classes for the avro module
Key: AVRO-1842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1842
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Reporter: Niels Basjes
Assignee: Niels Basjes
In the java module 'avro' there are classes used in tests that use code
generated from schema definitions. This is generated using the 'compiler'
module that depends on 'avro'.
So what we now have is that in some cases
- the generated file is committed. ( like
lang/java/avro/src/test/java/org/apache/avro/FooBarSpecificRecord.java and with
AVRO-1684 ) and as a consequence this generated code is not update when a
change in the code generator is made and simple changes sometimes cause big
differences that are totally unrelated.
- the tests are put into with the tests of a 'later' module (like the tests in
lang/java/ipc/src/test/java/org/apache/avro/specific )
Proposal:
- We create a new module 'avro-test' that come after the 'compiler' module.
- We move the tests in 'avro' that depend on schema generated code to this new
package. I think we should leave as many of the tests as possible in the 'avro'
module and only move the ones that need generated code.
- We move the tests in 'ipc' (and possibly others) that are really tests for
'avro' into 'avro-test'.
