There have been some times in testing Gant (invariably the "spawn an Ant" tests) where perTest forking worked and once forking failed. This turned out to be because of the necessary but incorrect use of static global variables. Without the ability to make use of both perTest and once fork modes, there would have been no way of debugging the problem. I am still seeing echoes of the problem in some current runs with Gradle and with Canoo's CruiseControl, but not with Ant, Gant, my Buildbots or Codehaus' Bamboo. Debugging these problems is *hard* :-( -- Russel. ============================================================ Dr Russel Winder Partner Concertant LLP t: +44 20 7585 2200, +44 20 7193 9203 41 Buckmaster Road, f: +44 8700 516 084 voip: sip:[email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK. m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected]
