Bryan Duxbury commented on THRIFT-857:
--------------------------------------
To take a step back, do we really want to support arbitrary sub-namespace
specifications? If a lot of languages are going to be doing this, then I think
we should make it some part of the overall generator spec. That way, we can
eliminate the special cases.
I think that having the check is a really useful piece of functionality. It
keeps you from making silly mistakes and banging your head against a wall due
to a typo, which is something I think the compiler should readily support.
> tests run by "make install" fail if generators are disabled

> Key: THRIFT-857
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-857
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Test Suite
> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Environment: mac os
> Reporter: Bruce Lowekamp
> Priority: Minor
>
> configuring with generators disabled (configure --disable-gen-java, for
> example) produces a failed build because the tests run by "make install"
> require the java, cpp, rb, perl, csharp, and js generators.
> I would personally favor either removing those --disble-gen options
> altogether, or adding a warning message in the configure --help output that
> disabling those generators is not recommended/will cause test failure.
