Brian McBride created JENA-409:
----------------------------------
Summary: Test failures building on windows after GIT pull
Key: JENA-409
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-409
Project: Apache Jena
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ARQ
Environment: Windows8 GIT
Reporter: Brian McBride
Priority: Minor
On windows (8):
Pull all branches from the GIT mirror
Switch to trunk branch
mvn clean install
results in test failures.
The tests that are failing are RIOT Turtle parser tests involving multiline
literals. The input files are:
jena-arq/testing/RIOT/Lang/Turtle/turtle-subm-15.ttl
jena-arq/testing/RIOT/Lang/Turtle/turtle-subm-16.ttl
jena-arq/testing/RIOT/Lang/TurtleSubm/test-17.ttl
jena-arq/testing/RIOT/Lang/TurtleSubm/test-18.ttl
The reason the tests are failing is that by default, GIT changes the line
endings of text files to the platform default line endings on checkout.
Therefore, on checking out from GIT, the LF characters within the multiline
literals in these files are replaced by CR LF. When parsed the literals then
do not match the expected results. They have unexpected CR characters in them.
To fix this, I have created a .gitattributes file in the Jena root directory
that tells GIT to use LF line endings for these four files.
After checking this file in and then doing:
git rm --cached -r .
git reset --hard
git add .
git commit -m "Normalize line endings"
then Jena builds fine. I would expect that if such a .gitattributes file were
in the GIT repository when I did the pull, the build would just work out of the
box, but I don't know that to be the case.
