Hi Rick, On both the environments I have available (Windows 10 / JDK 9.0.4 and Fedora / JDK 9.0.1) all those tests passed without issue.
Eyeballing the details of the Jenkins run in https://builds.apache.org/blue/organizations/jenkins/Derby-trunk-suites.All/detail/Derby-trunk-suites.All/169/tests/ it certainly seems to me like the issue involves international characters in permissions files. All of the failed tests complain about access denied errors for java.io.FilePermission on file paths which contain filename components in international character sets. Maybe that's a clue as to what's different about the Jenkins slave? Also, and I think unrelated, did you happen to see the errors in https://builds.apache.org/job/Derby-trunk/2554/display/redirect?page=changes Those errors are in the 'publishedapi' target, and the message is: install_packagelists: [mkdir] Created dir: <https://builds.apache.org/job/Derby-trunk/ws/trunk/packageListLoc-se-8> [mkdir] Created dir: <https://builds.apache.org/job/Derby-trunk/ws/trunk/packageListLoc-j2ee-7> [get] Getting: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/package-list [get] To: <https://builds.apache.org/job/Derby-trunk/ws/trunk/packageListLoc-se-8/package-list> [get] http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/package-list permanently moved to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/package-list BUILD FAILED <https://builds.apache.org/job/Derby-trunk/ws/trunk/build.xml>:999: The following error occurred while executing this line: <https://builds.apache.org/job/Derby-trunk/ws/trunk/build.xml>:1027: Redirection detected from http to https. Protocol switch unsafe, not allowed. Looking at the value of 'javasedoc.url' in our build.xml file: <property name="javasedoc.url" value="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api"/> two things occur to me: 1) Should we change it from java 8 to java 9? 2) Can we simply change the url to specify https rather than http? If that works, then we probably have to do that for j2eedoc.url also? Thanks again for all the help getting these cleaned up, I will be happier if we are getting clean runs from our Jenkins system. bryan
