| Re: [cdt-dev] proposal for side-stepping known test failures |
|
I was able to resolve roughly a dozen intermittent failures caused by a bug in org.eclipse.cdt.ui.tests.BaseUITestCase.checkTreeNode(IViewPart, int, String) The implementation searched the entire workbench for the SWT Tree instead of just the given view. This would intermittently (but frequently enough) return,
e.g., the Outline view’s tree because it has a root element with the same label as that in the Call hierarchy view. It was just a matter of the order in which the controls in the workbench were found, which is undefined and inconsistent. So, here we have an example of a test being unreliable, unrelated to OS or environment. The test had a bug and you and Hudson were simply getting lucky. I’ve pushed the fix to master.
