Thorsten Schöning commented on LOGCXX-457: ------------------------------------------ It looks like the other failing tests are 3, which is somewhat similar to 6, and somethign in 5. Patching 3 the same way like 6 didn't resolve that issue, though. I guess the difference is with where the first log statement goes... > timebasedrollingtest fails for seconds related filenames > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOGCXX-457 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-457 > Project: Log4cxx > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Tests > Affects Versions: 0.11.0 > Environment: Windows 8.1 x64, C++-Builder 10 Seattle > Reporter: Thorsten Schöning > Assignee: Thorsten Schöning > > I'm building 0.11.0 and except timebasedrollingtest all tests pass. Using > process monitor I can see that in that test some files with timestamps in > their name with seconds resolution are not available as expected and form > looking at the code in my opinion this is a bug in the test and can't work at > all. > Looking at the history, problems with this test have been reported before in > LOGCXX-206, where it first was simply disabled and enabled afterwards, but > without any noticable changes or documentation to the problem. It just seemed > to work now. > But lets look at test 6: First, some filenames are build containing a > timestamp starting with "now" and each new filename is expected to be one > second in the future. But the important thing is that the names start with > "now"! > Afterwards the tests waits always(!) for at least the next second, is than > writing to some files and checking the existence of the file names created > before with the expected timestamp names. Process Monitor reveals that the > first checked filename is always missing. > But isn't that expected behavior, because the first fielname is created with > "now" in mind, explicitly not in the future, and one second is waited > afterwards, so the writes are in the future now? This looks like it can't > ever work ever and it's always only the first file missing. > Besides that, there some code reduncany in that file, so I decided to create > this bug to document my findings, clean the code up a bit and deal with the > failing test afterwards. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
