Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9330: ---------------------------------------- @Luke: if that's all we need to do, that's all we need. # We should be able to put this base test case into hadoop-common test & have it imported by the other projects -which all import the -test JAR. # What name & package? Konstantin: I thought the switch from JUnit3 to JUnit4 was driven by the goal of adding beforeclass/afterclass methods and so setup/teardown miniclusters only once per test class, not per test. The added benefit we get is being able to skip, not just in attributes, but by raising {{AssumptionViolatedException}}, either from the {{assume()}}, method, or in your own code. I'm using that in some of my tests already. > Add custom JUnit4 test runner with configurable timeout > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9330 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9330 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Test > Components: test > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Steve Loughran > > HADOOP-9112 has added a requirement for all new test methods to declare a > timeout, so that jenkins/maven builds will have better information on a > timeout. > Hard coding timeouts into tests is dangerous as it will generate spurious > failures on slower machines/networks and when debugging a test. > I propose providing a custom JUnit4 test runner that test cases can declare > as their test runner; this can provide timeouts specified at run-time, rather > than in-source. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
