apropos the instructions on online tests at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/5.+7+Testing
Trying to make sense of this... under http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/trunk/gt/build/fixtures/ are some sample fixtures. the online test talks about the user's home directory containing fixtures in a directory ".geotools" and if a fixture is not found the tests are ignored. So - my current list of questions is: 1) if the online build is going to run tests, does it automatically load from the SVN http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/trunk/gt/build/fixtures/ path into the testing environments home directory? 2) the "nogeos" fixture looks fine for me - do I re-use it or clone it to create an online test for geometryless? 3) is there a resource naming convention to avoid resource clashes? 4) if other people are running online tests against the same fixture, how do we avoid resource contention/corruption? - if the resource is left available, and its readonly, then we want mvn clean or something to remove it, otherwise the test can create it if its missing perhaps? 5) without any fixtures in my home directory, when I run mvn test -P online it tries to connect - but seems to hit the local database and fail - this seems inconsistent with the write-up "it will skip tests if it cant find a fixture" - or does it mean that online tests are run _in addition_ to the default set - which makes little sense IMHO. (And I'll promise to update the docs as I get understanding of these things :-) ) Rob A ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
