---------------------------------------
Summary: Conditionally Ignore Junit Tests
Key: NIFI-3593
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3593
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tools and Build
Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 1.2.0
Reporter: Puspendu Banerjee
We should incorporate a capability to conditionally ignore unit tests which are
not relevant to certain condition, environment, language, locale etc.
For example,
# YUI compressor fails on windows
# CEFParser fails on non-English environment and we are yet to get an updated
version for that.
Definitely, we can craft our test-cases to fit in, but that may lead to
unintended foul-play. Instead of that if we run those tests in a quarantine,
still we will have a clear view of what ran and what not as well as we will be
able to proceed through a green build.
As long as release management is concerned,
# we need to be very careful about choosing what to quarantine or conditionally
ignore
# we should have a clean quarantine before release for certain environment.
I am thinking about some annotation driven solution like the below one, so that
we can easily track it and report.
{code:java}
@IgnoreOn(since:Date, reason:String, conditionExpr:String)
{code}
The way Junit's *assume* or *assumeThat* works doesn't fit in directly.
Looking forward for inputs.
