The current version of Netcat (nc) in Hombrew ( 0.7.1 ) on the Mac does not seem to work like the bundled nc from apple. This will cause the MaaSIntegrationTest to fail.
This happens because the nc -l 0.0.0.0 1500 command with 0.7.1 results in nc listening on a random high port and not 1500 as commanded, and thus the test will fail with connection refused errors (that you won’t see because the exception is ‘eaten’ ) causing the tests to time out. Just passing this on, so the next guy doesn’t spend the time I just spent :)
