| Re: [ejb-dev] How can we best make the EJB30 tests that use Corba optional but still require other non-Corba tests to be run? |
Hi,
Currently the only way to make Corba tests optional is to move the Corba tests into separate (test client) packages. This is looking to be a likely longer path approach (messy/fragile/likely-to-break-something).
At this point, I think the quicker/easy to make changes would be:
1. Introduce a new way to ignore the Corba tests that are contained with other tests, so that we do not have to refactor a lot of EJB abstract classes. Perhaps via a system property setting that causes the Corba using tests to just return.
https://github.com/scottmarlow/jakartaee-tck/tree/corba_ejb contains some changes for #1. We also will need documentation changes to describe how to update ts.jte to set the system property. I'll verify that the ejb30 tests still pass (without the system property) via https://ci.eclipse.org/jakartaee-tck/job/jakartaee-tck-scottmarlow/job/corba_ejb with GlassFish.
The system property name is currently `TCKCorbaDisabled`. Perhaps it would be better to
use `DisableTCKCorbaUse`?
2. Remove use of Corba which doesn't (best) meet the Platform requirement to have Corba be optional.
I didn't create a branch for this change but could if needed.
I'm leaning toward trying to explore #1 but am open to suggestions? I'm not yet sure of where the system property would be set exactly and by whom. I'm expecting that code like ResourceBeanBase#testOrb() [1] could return immediately if the (not yet named) system property indicates that Corba tests should be excluded.
Other ideas?
