Karl Heinz Marbaise updated MNG-7277:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Remove Wrong or useless Tests (was: Wrong Test -
testNonNumericVersionRepresentationReturnsANumberFormatException)
> Remove Wrong or useless Tests
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-7277
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7277
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0-alpha-1
> Reporter: Karl Heinz Marbaise
> Assignee: Karl Heinz Marbaise
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0.0
>
>
> Currently the following test:
> {code:java}
> public void
> testNonNumericVersionRepresentationReturnsANumberFormatException()
> {
> try
> {
> new DefaultArtifactVersion( "..." );
> }
> catch ( Exception e )
> {
> assertTrue( "We expect a NumberFormatException to be thrown.", e
> instanceof NumberFormatException );
> }
> }
> {code}
> is expected to throw an {{NumberFormatException}} which is not the case
> because
> The exception is not thrown by the underlying code.
> The reason is simply this test is wrong. The {{catch}} part will not being
> executed. This results in the green reported test.
> The following test: {{public void testOsActivationProfile()}} in
> {{DefaultProfileManagerTest}} class has been commented out for years now
> (seen on maven-3.8.x branch) which means it has never been run which means it
> has not run ever.
