Hoss Man created SOLR-4195:
------------------------------
Summary: chmod a-x build/**/test-files when running tests
Key: SOLR-4195
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4195
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Hoss Man
Until recently, I thought the solr test framework was setup such that every
test got it's own copy of the "test-files/solr" directory to use as it's Solr
Home Dir -- then mark committed r1421543, to fix a problem where that test was
writing a file (that would later be removed) to the solr conf dir, which would
confuse another currently running test and cause it to fail.
This made me realize that what i was remembering is that the ant build files
copy the src/test-files directories into build/ prior to running the tests --
but all tests (in that module) still share the same copy.
Subsequent discussions with folks on IRC lead me to the following realizations..
* making a copy of the test-files dir for each test would help eliminate
confusing by reducing non-reproducible failures if tests collide -- but might
be slow
* making a copy of the test-files dir for each test would not help identify
situations were code was mistakenly/unexpectedly writing to the solr home dir
* what would probably make the most sense, would be to make the
build/test-files directory "read only". that way by default tests would get a
read only solr home dir -- triggering failures if the code is broken and tries
to write to that dir. tests that want/need to write to the solr home dir would
have to go out of their way to clone the read only test-files/solr directory
and use it as their solr home.
