Daniel Voros created SQOOP-3283: ----------------------------------- Summary: MySQL thirdparty tests hang if there's no USER environment variable Key: SQOOP-3283 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-3283 Project: Sqoop Issue Type: Bug Components: connectors/mysql, test Affects Versions: 1.4.7 Reporter: Daniel Voros Assignee: Daniel Voros
{{org.apache.sqoop.manager.mysql.MySQLTestUtils#getCurrentUser()}} executes {{whoami}} in a subprocess if there's no USER environment variable (happened to me while running tests from Docker). However, it waits for the Process variable to become null, that never happens: {code:java} // wait for whoami to exit. while (p != null) { try { int ret = p.waitFor(); if (0 != ret) { LOG.error("whoami exited with error status " + ret); // suppress original return value from this method. return null; } } catch (InterruptedException ie) { continue; // loop around. } } {code} We could get rid of the while loop since {{Process#waitFor()}} blocks while it completes. Note, that it's easy to workaround the issue by setting the USER environment variable when running the tests. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
