hey folks, I know yonik and mark had a long time power outage so I don't want to blame anybody here but we need to fix those test failures. Really when you look at those jenkins jobs:
http://jenkins.sd-datasolutions.de/job/Lucene-Solr-trunk-Windows/ http://jenkins.sd-datasolutions.de/job/Lucene-Solr-4.x-Linux/ https://builds.apache.org/computer/lucene/ https://builds.apache.org/job/Lucene-Solr-NightlyTests-4.x/ its really funny if that'd be a joke but it isn't. If I'd be a new contributor I'd be scared as sh** when I subscribe to the mailing list. It's also not a good advertisement for us either. Yet, even further it makes me miss failures I might have caused since the amount of failure mails don't encourage to look at them since its the same tests that fail over and over again no matter what code I commit. I can already hear somebody saying "why don't you fix it" - well fair enough but this project is massive and we are a large committer base and I don't see myself fix the code I have never ever touched. Anyhow, I really ask myself what is the point of running these tests, specifically the solr ones, if the fail over and over again and nobody cares? Even if folks care they don't get fixed and this project as more committers than yonik and mark. Its really a bad sign if we are at the point where we rely on 2 people to fix tests on a stable branch... I'd really like to hear how people want to address this, I mean it would be just fair to disable the tests until somebody has the patience / time to fix them we can / should make it blockers for a release. Really a jenkins mail should be the exception not the rule...I also think if the FreeBSD jenkins black hole stuff is a problem for the tests then lets add a @BlackHoleProne annotation and only run that on linux? I really don't care how we fix it but if we don't have a solution by the end of next week I will add @Ignore to all of them that failed in the last 2 weeks. Sorry I got so frustrated about this - this is really bad press here! simon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
