Adrian Cole commented on JCLOUDS-771:
-------------------------------------
ps expect tests are already beta, so we can nuke them as soon as we migrate off.
> Deprecate and destroy Expect tests; use MockWebServer instead

> Key: JCLOUDS-771
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-771
> Project: jclouds
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: jclouds-core
> Reporter: Adrian Cole
> Labels: technical_debt

> As I'm sure questions will arise.. why MockWebServer? Reason is that tests
> based on MWS are resilient to design changes. Ex. we can completely replace
> how annotations are processed without rewriting the test. Moreover, unlike
> ExpectTest, MWS has no dependency on how jclouds represents http requests.
> That means that even changes to our class structure around http requests can
> be made without rewriting tests!
> Once we decouple our tests from jclouds internals, we can change them.
> Also, we divorce ourselves from having to maintain our own test framework
> which has caused problems in flakey tests as well difficulty in
> troubleshooting. Expect test was a nice idea but it was only partially
> realistic, yet took as much or more work to write classes for than MWS.
