Hi all
to clear things up a little it wasn't our intenion when starting this thread to turn the current build process upside down. We just felt that it wasn't very nice that the complete build fails when working offline.
You wrote that you don't see a need to change the build process. We wholeheartedly agree it's a single test that is "misbehaving" not the build process. But locally changing the build process as suggested repeatedly isn't the right way neither AFAIC.
Back to the test in question: We strongly feel that there are two possible solutions:
1. Start a lightweight server locally 2. Modify the test not to use HTTP Connection (as Ben also suggested)
Both of these solutions leave the build process alone and enable people to work offline to leave their build process alone as well.
We submit a patch for either of the solutions if desired ;-) (we just would like to know if it's worthwhile coding it)
Absolutely - go for it. Either of the above sounds like a good solution to the probelm.
