Bertrand Dechoux commented on MRUNIT-120: ----------------------------------------- Is this one still relevant after the patch on MRUNIT-119? Counters shouldn't have that many names. (It is even enforced to be under 120 different name values by default, now, I think). So they can indeed change due to refactoring but this case is supported MRUNIT-119. I am only mentioning it in order to not forget that MRUNIT-119 was created around the same time. I don't have a definitive position on that subject. > Counter tests should support wildcard/regex names > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRUNIT-120 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRUNIT-120 > Project: MRUnit > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Dave Beech > Priority: Minor > > From Bertrand Dechoux via user mailing list. > "The issue is that I might no know the name of the counters because they are > dynamic. Even the group name is kind of dynamic because for warning counters, > I use the class name and so it might change after refactoring." > Currently it is difficult to test counters with dynamically generated names. > Also, as Bertrand mentioned in the email, hardcoding names can make tests > brittle and break after code refactoring. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
