Stephen Connolly commented on CASSANDRA-2298:
---------------------------------------------
perhaps... but i prefer not to force the issue and let the CI build define
whether it wants the test failures to be ignored. That way you can have a set
of different criteria.
Instrumented tests failing can actually be indicative of a number of threading
issues.
I just want something that lets the CI build get code coverage... some people
(including me depending on the way the wind is blowing) feel that code coverage
when tests are failing is invalid as you are executing code paths that are not
actually covered by the tests. We had a system which had about 3% higher
coverage if 3 of the test cases were failing than if they were passing... so in
general you only trust test coverage when the tests pass
> Allow running the build with test failures ignored
