-----------------------------------
Summary: Remove OS support tests from TemplateBuilderLiveTest, as
people are ignoring failures
Key: JCLOUDS-778
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-778
Project: jclouds
Issue Type: Task
Components: jclouds-core
Reporter: Adrian Cole
Developers don't seem to be running live tests much anymore. Prime example is
even amazon ec2 is now rusting! JCLOUDS-775
Part of this is likely that they fail for trivial reasons due to a somewhat
obsessive test approach I introduced many years ago. Basically, we defined the
"supported operating system" list in subtypes of BaseTemplateBuilderLiveTest.
We once thought that we would test multiple os families, but we've never done
that. In the mean time, the supported operating system part of the test is just
something that breaks every 3 months when a provider adds or removes an OS
version. Since there's no action we can take on that, and this drowns out real
issues in the provider, let's remove it.
What we retain are more important aspects, such as properties apply, or that
the default template resolves to known values. Since all our tests work off the
resolved template, we do need to be aware when that changes.
