I'm working on a patch for SOLR-445, and it's near completion. The problem is that I'm getting weird test failures. TestDistributedSearch fails *only* when run as part of the full "ant test", *not* when I run it either from the command line (-Dtestcase=) or from within IntelliJ.
So I assume it's some "interesting" interaction between some previous test and the one in question. Before I go and try to figure it out, does anyone have any wisdom to offer as to 1> how to go about tracking it down? 2> what to look for? 3> any tools anyone has stashed away? I know this has been a problem before, and would love to *not* have to re-invent a wheel here. The obvious thing to do would be to run sub-sequences of tests until I included one that failed, which is an example of what I mean by "tools". I have the output in test-results, so I assume I know the sequence of tests just in front of the one that fails. It looks like I can go into the build.xml file and mess around with the junit tag, possibly make another <batchtest> section and include successively more tests to get a clue, but that seems kind of clumsy-but-do-able. Code inspection would be hit-or-miss, but may be the only real option here. It sure would be nice to have a place to start.... Best Erick
