Hi Mark,

Sorry, I misunderstood your append. Please ignore my response. I really need to go for a coffee :-)

Best regards,
George

Hi Mark,

The resource files don't get copied every time the tests are run. The Ant copy task only does it if the destination file is stale with respect to the source.

You are really proposing that an Ant copy be replaced with a zip/tar task ? How often will the resultant archive be refreshed ? If an entry is stale with respect to the source ? Hang on, that sounds familiar....

Best regards,
George

I can see one reason to copy resources - if we want to produce
a single downloadable binary image of the test suite.

Other than that it does not make much sense to me.

The image might be usefull for kind of regular QA cycles later.

Thanks,
Mikhail

+1.

I just proposed similar modification to classpath of each modules in
another thread, which will make the IDE(Eclipse at least) user easier to
run test.

Hi George,

Some time ago we agreed to copy resource files to classpath (i.e. bin/test directory). I saw that you added corresponing targets to build files. But now I realized that I don't understand why we should copy them instead of simply adding resource directory (i.e. src/test/resources) to classpath. May be there are simple reasons to do this that I don't know but anyway ... so why we have to copy thousands of files (there is no doubt that in future we
will have thousands of resource files) each time we run tests?
