Jack Krupansky commented on SOLR-4169:
--------------------------------------
bq. But then what would "unit" tests for Solr be? :)
In the longer-term, heavy use of mocking.
Whatever value Mark finds in the current tests (which is real and significant),
mocking with a wider range of behavior (including randomized behavior) of
dependencies would increase the value of Solr testing by orders of magnitude.
Full integration tests certainly do have real value, and a hybrid of some
mocking and some real dependencies would give the best of both worlds.

> I'm at the end of my rope.
> Last week I tried to help with this: but its already wednesday and solr tests
> are 20x worse.
> Users are complaining that they cannot get snapshots and test them, because
> the tests fail all the time.
> Maven dependencies are wrong, but we never knew, because the tests never
> succeeded so the validation task hasn't actually run in months.
> I think fixing this situation is a blocker to release: I can't imagine a
> bigger blocker actually.
