Hey all! I was hacking hbase-shell and JRuby over the weekend and wanted to
get some feedback on workflow. My objective was to execute a single Ruby
unit test in isolation from the TestShell.java class via the jruby binary.
I was able to accomplish this by doing the following steps:
1. Pulled down branch-2
2. Installed and cleaned via maven at the base directory (mvn
-Dmaven.javadoc.skip -DskipTests install)
3. Changed to the hbase-shell directory and exported the classpath (mvn
dependency:build-classpath -Dmdep.outputFile=/path/to/cpath.txt)
4. Exported the path to that file to shell env (export
TEST_PATH="/path/to/cpath.txt")
5. Hacked tests_runner.rb to just load("path/to/test") for the test I
wanted to run
6. From the hbase-shell project directory ran the following:
jruby \
-J-cp `cat $TEST_PATH` \
-d -w \
-I src/test/ruby \
-I src/main/ruby \
src/test/ruby/tests_runner.rb
The problem is, is this only worked on *most* of the hbase-shell Ruby
tests. The only way to get, for example, list_procedures_test.rb to work
completely, was to run it from the TestShell.java file. When ran from the
jruby binary, I get a "class not found" when
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.procedure.ShellTestProcedure.new was being
referenced. I can't figure out how to load this class adhoc and not through
what appears to be Maven magic.
Any suggestions or better ideas on how to do this?
