I'd suggest based on Tom's post that the work should include some sort of reliable way of testing the WFS client (and of course full test coverage) - I don't know if GeoServer is Docker-happy these days, but the default install in a VM should be sufficient for the task (it comes with test layers) - although GeoServer doesn't support WFS-T for writing.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi all,
I very much think that the WFS client is an really bad state, and is not really reliable, especially in WFS-T context.
The good news is that we just have been funded to refactor it !
The work should start in september and land in 3.6. I will let our dev's come here with more technical details about the goals. I hope we will also be able to take benefit of this to this the OGC compliancy of the client here.
Best regards,
Régis

    I can't offer any helpful suggestions, but just to let you know I
    finally had
    to disable all my plugin WFS tests. I used to cope, by rerunning
    failed
    Travis runs, but by about three months ago, it seemed no longer
    usable -
    failure after failure.

    I was using a third-party WFS, and perhaps I could have got round
    this by
    adding a WFS provider to the test docker image, but in this
    plugin's case, I
    didn't think it worth the significant effort to do so. The WM(T)S
    tests also
    use third-party sources and seem stable, so perhaps this wasn't the
    underlying issue anyway.

    If an improvement or solution could be found, it would be great to
    reinstate
    these tests.

    Thanks

    Tom
