Michael McCandless commented on PDFBOX-1977: -------------------------------------------- It's intentional that the test picks a random seed, and it then prints the seed if there is an error, so we get better test coverage without losing reproducibility. > LZWFilter fails / TestFilters is non-determinate > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: PDFBOX-1977 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1977 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.8.5, 2.0.0 > Reporter: John Hewson > Assignee: Tilman Hausherr > Labels: LZW > Fix For: 1.8.5, 2.0.0 > > > TestFilters uses Random().nextLong() to generate a seed for random data, > which means that it is non-determinate. Depending on the seed value, the test > may fail or succeed. > Using the following seed results in the LZW filter failing: > final long seed = -6257105096642706464L; -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
