Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-2804:
------------------------------------
Ok I agree. Currently there is only one 'testEmptyIndex()' test that makes use
of newDirectory(Directory). But perhaps after we've converted more tests to not
use FSDirectory.open, more will use it.
> check all tests that use FSDirectory.open

> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Test
> Reporter: Robert Muir

> In LUCENE-2471 we were discussing the copyBytes issue, and Shai and I had a
> discussion about how we could prevent such bugs in the future.
> One thing that lead to the bug existing in our code for so long, was that it
> only happened on windows (e.g. never failed in hudson!)
> This was because the bug only happened if you were copying from
> SimpleFSDirectory, and the test used FSDirectory.open
> Today the situation is improving: most tests use newDirectory() which is
> random by default and never use FSDir.open,
> it always uses SimpleFS or NIOFS so that the same random seed will reproduce
> across both windows and unix.
> So I think we need to review all uses of FSDirectory.open in our tests, and
> minimize these.
> In general tests should use newDirectory().
> If the test comes with say a zip-file and wants to explicitly open stuff from
> disk, I think it should open the contents with say SimpleFSDir,
> and then call newDirectory(Directory) to copy into a new "random"
> implementation for actual testing. This method already exists:
> {noformat}
> /**
> * Returns a new Dictionary instance, with contents copied from the
> * provided directory. See {...@link #newDirectory()} for more
> * information.
> */
> public static MockDirectoryWrapper newDirectory(Directory d) throws
> IOException {
> {noformat}
