All,
I request to review a change for "8030035 - Create a stable
test group in TEST.groups"
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bvaidya/8/8030035/webrev.01/
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8030035
I'm not sure about including javax/print in this list. They might be
stable but they only pass if there is a printer attached. I see you
have them listed as "known issues" [1] but I think it really reduces
the chances that all the tests in the proposed group will pass.
In the java/print group, 11 tests pass and 5 tests fail when printer is
not attached. I can remove it from the jdk_stable group.
I'm also not sure about the SCTP test. We put them into their own
group because they are highly sensitive to the kernel configuration
and/or the libsctp that is installed. They do pass if SCTP is not in
the kernel but they have been troublesome on older kernels that had it
configured. I guess I can't really object to including this and we can
always remove it if there are complaints.
I didn't see any issue with these tests on OEL 6. I am happy to remove
it from the jdk_stable group if anyone complain on any other OSes.
As regards the rest then there are few tests in these areas that fail
when running headless. I'm interested in hearing other views on that
topic. Volker's suggestion to have a stable and stable-headful is one
approach. I guess I just object to tests doing strange polkas on my
desktop. Also it is very appealing in server environments so not have
to setup a virtual frame buffer.
I found 13 tests from jdk_stable group that fail in headless mode. In
the short term,
I can add a note in knownissues.html [1] page. In the long term, hoping
to have a
solution for those failing tests.
Thanks
