Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-12028:
---------------------------------------
[~steve_rowe] Fair enough. I expect it to take a bit to make this smooth.
Here's the goal as I see it, subject to negotiation. How we work it out is TBD:
Tests that are always broken are AwaitsFix. These won't be run regularly. I'm
going to provide a report each week (just an e-mail to the dev list) with the
current tests with either AwaitsFix or BadApple annotations.
BadApple tests should be run often enough to give various summaries something
to report on (e.g. Hoss' report, your work). Personally I'm going to filter
them to a special folder that I can examine at leisure.
Anything run with tests.badapples=false that fails requires immediate
attention. For a short while that may just be adding BadApple annotations. When
things settle down, adding more BadApple annotations should only rarely be done.

> There's a long discussion of this topic at SOLR-12016. Here's a summary:
> - BadApple annotations are used for tests that intermittently fail, say < 30%
> of the time. Tests that fail more often shold be moved to AwaitsFix. This is,
> of course, a judgement call
> - AwaitsFix annotations are used for tests that, for some reason, the problem
> can't be fixed immediately. Likely reasons are third-party dependencies,
> extreme difficulty tracking down, dependency on another JIRA etc.
> Jenkins jobs will typically run with BadApple disabled to cut down on noise.
> Periodically Jenkins jobs will be run with BadApples enabled so BadApple
> tests won't be lost and reports can be generated. Tests that run with
> BadApples disabled that fail require _immediate_ attention.
> The default for developers is that BadApple is enabled.
> If you are working on one of these tests and cannot get the test to fail
> locally, it is perfectly acceptable to comment the annotation out. You should
> let the dev list know that this is deliberate.
> This JIRA is a placeholder for BadApple tests to point to between the times
> they're identified as BadApple and they're either fixed or changed to
> AwaitsFix or assigned their own JIRA.
> I've assigned this to myself to track so I don't lose track of it. No one
> person will fix all of these issues, this will be an ongoing technical debt
> cleanup effort.
