Not sure what the "fake" hard-coded locale is. I used to set the default
locale to some particular one, e.g., en_US, but it seems that someone
(Tim) does not like the idea. :-)
What I objected to was setting the locale to a specific value that
made the tests pass even where the logic is locale-specific. So, for
example, if an application using the ru_RU locale would experience the
problem that Alexey is seeing with the DecimalFormat, then the tests
should use the default locale, and we (Harmony) get the benefit of a
wide community of hetrogeneous testers.
i.e. don't make all tests run on a uniform machine set-up -- let them
be realistic.
Agree :-) Maybe we will two kinds of locale-related tests:
1) tests which should pass on any locale
2) tests which are intended to be executed in one particular locale, for
these tests, we can restrict the default locale to a specific one.
Any comments? Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Richard
