Mark Miller commented on SOLR-4169:
-----------------------------------
Unit tests are great. IMO, all tests are great.
Because system tests are what the user will see (he doesn't care much if the
components work in isolation, he needs them to work togther), they are what I
personally prioritize. Unit tests are important as well, and can help in
debugging. We have some of these tests in the code base but, like all tests,
not as many as we'd like. If anyone is volunteering to write some, please do!
I've always like Apache because it's really about getting work done - if
someone wants to see something, jump in with a shovel.
I just committed some new tests using easymock that Per wrote (today or
yesterday, I don't remember). We will happily take test patches!
> The test suite should consistently pass

> 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.
