Hi Fabian and Andy, I found the problem you are experiencing with the Facebook Test. Apparently, Facebook returns different data depending on the IP address and country the request comes from. I just checked: - a request for http://graph.facebook.com/106515832719603 from Germany or Austria returns "Berg" - a request for http://graph.facebook.com/106515832719603 from people.apache.org (probably US) returns "Mountains"
WTF. I will have to think a bit about this and disable the test in the meantime. Thanks for the patience and testing, looking forward to the Jenkins server already ... :) Greetings, Sebastian 2013/3/15 Sebastian Schaffert <sebastian.schaff...@gmail.com> > Hi Fabian, > > > 2013/3/15 Fabian Christ <christ.fab...@googlemail.com> > >> 2013/3/15 Sebastian Schaffert <sebastian.schaff...@gmail.com>: >> > The problem >> > is that this test queries the Facebook Web Service, so it is unreliable >> and >> > dependent on network connection and service availability. >> >> My internet connection works fine.
