Hi folks,
recently I began fixing issues at work and let tests run on powerful
machines in the background. Unfortunately, I cannot really make any
progress here. More than 80 % of all unit/integration tests fail because
they are not self-contained. They all have Maven Central
hardcoded/configured somewhere and that results in a "connection timeout".
I am in a highly isolated environment where outbound traffic works only
through a HTTP proxy, therefore I have installed a Nexus instance years
ago and route all requests through that. Because of the 'awkward' test
design that mirror (from my settings.xml) is completely ignored.
For me, there are two consequences:
1. I have to stall or reduce my bug fixing activities at work, losing a
lot of productivity which I cannot have at home. Various operating
systems and multicore Xeon CPUs.
2. While performing the recent bug cleanup, some people responded to the
closures. I kindly asked them either to provide or retest patches
against latest versions with successful unit/integration tests. If those
people are in the same situation like I am, we lose contributors in
complete frustration which I fully understand.
Is anyone of you in the same locked down situation and have any remedy
to this or know how we can solve this?
Michael
