Alan Boudreault updated CASSANDRA-6983:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: (was: 6983-v1.patch)
> DirectoriesTest fails when run as root
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-6983
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6983
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tests
> Reporter: Brandon Williams
> Assignee: Alan Boudreault
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.12
>
>
> When you run the DirectoriesTest as a normal user, it passes because it fails
> to create the 'bad' directory:
> {noformat}
> [junit] ------------- Standard Error -----------------
> [junit] ERROR 16:16:18,111 Failed to create
> /tmp/cassandra4119802552776680052unittest/ks/bad directory
> [junit] WARN 16:16:18,112 Blacklisting
> /tmp/cassandra4119802552776680052unittest/ks/bad for writes
> [junit] ------------- ---------------- ---------------
> {noformat}
> But when you run the test as root, it succeeds in making the directory,
> causing an assertion failure that it's unwritable:
> {noformat}
> [junit] Testcase:
> testDiskFailurePolicy_best_effort(org.apache.cassandra.db.DirectoriesTest):
> FAILED
> [junit]
> [junit] junit.framework.AssertionFailedError:
> [junit] at
> org.apache.cassandra.db.DirectoriesTest.testDiskFailurePolicy_best_effort(DirectoriesTest.java:199)
> {noformat}
> It seems to me that we shouldn't be relying on failing the make the
> directory. If we're just going to test a nonexistent dir, why try to make
> one at all? And if that is supposed to succeed, then we have a problem with
> either the test or blacklisting.
