-----------------------------------------------
Summary: Convert all SQL regress test script names to upper case
Key: TRAFODION-1445
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-1445
Project: Apache Trafodion
Issue Type: Bug
Components: sql-general
Environment: Any development environment
Reporter: David Wayne Birdsall
Assignee: David Wayne Birdsall
Priority: Minor
Most of the test scripts in core/sql/regress/* have names TESTnnn, but a few
have names testnnn (that is, in lower case), which is a throw-back to Windows
days when the scripts were first developed. Windows has a case-insensitive file
system, so the case didn't matter. But when the test scripts were later added
to a source control system where it did matter, the names became encased in
stone. When later ported to Linux, with its case-sensitive file system, it was
inconvenient to have some files in one case and others in another, so the
tools/runregr_<component>.ksh scripts had some code in them to make copies of
all the lower-case-named files into upper-case-named equivalents. This is all
well and good until a developer wishes to debug a problem involving one of
these test scripts. Attempts to edit the TESTnnn file mysteriously disappear as
the testnnn doppelgänger is copied on top of it when the test suite is run.
This JIRA suggests eliminating this mystery, by replacing the testnnn files
with TESTnnn files, and eliminating the doppelgänger-copying code in the
tools/runregr_<component>.ksh scripts.
