Thanks for that tip Dawid. I'll consider AspectJ some day; that's an interesting approach.
So as it turns out, I was wrong when I said that the same shapes etc. were being tested when I switched the directory via the system property. I thought I checked for that but apparently I got confused. I do find it disconcerting that the random seed can get incremented by LuceneTestCase.newDirectory() a different number of times depending on wether or not -Dtests.seed has been set. This makes it difficult to make a test that uses randomization to "just" change the directory for a given test run (i.e. for a given seed). It would be nice if there was a mechanism to restore the random state so you could restore it from when it was captured at the beginning of a method call. This wouldn't just apply to newDirectory() but to some other similar utility methods. ~ David ----- Author: http://www.packtpub.com/apache-solr-3-enterprise-search-server/book -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Possible-problem-with-RAMDirectory-tips-please-tp4054241p4054565.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
