Hi, I have been working on NUTCH-208 [1] in an attempt to clean up some dated issues on our JIRA and have been considering Sami's comments regarding unit tests for this specific improvement. My questions are as follows
What is the procedure for defining whether a certain patch requires accompanying JUnit test classes? Apart from obvious material lying around the web on writing JUnit tests, are there any standard or acceptable methods for constructing them with specific regards to Nutch? If I were to write a JUnit test for this patch, it would make more sense to make one which covers all aspects of proxy support within Nutch... this may turn a seemingly trivial task of submitting a patch to be tested within the dev community into a somewhat larger task that I had wished. Is this required? Thanks for any comments as I would like to put this old dog to bed (well overdue) and get my teeth into more important pressing issues.
