Hi,
I'd like to see if I could contribute to a few bugs starting with
investigations with a perspective test-driven bugfix approach.
So far I have the following questions:
1. Module build
What is "etc." in "You can also use php, enterprise, etc. See the
cluster.properties file." in README? Looking at `clusters.properties`
webcommon should work, but `ant -Dcluster.config=webcommon` fails due to
`/mnt/data/home/software/netbeans/nbbuild/build.xml:277:
${clusters.config.webcommon.list}.dir is not defined`
2. How to run tests?
I'm trying to fix https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5330, a
StackoverflowError in JsIndexer.java:229 in the
webcommon/javascript2.editor project.
Looking at the directory structure I see no test where I'd expect it
judging from the directory structure. If I was sane, I'd give up here
because adding tests afterwards is very painful.
The FAQ how to run and write tests is broken. I reported that at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-6113 where I was asked to
address the mailing list.
Meanwhile I've been breaking random tests with RuntimeException and
running different module configurations in order to see whether the test
fails and figure out which configuration I can use to run a reasonable
set of tests to finally get started with development, no success so far.
A full build of the cluster is still running with a few exceptions and
failing assertions added, but I doubt that's what netbeans devs are
doing and want their contributors to be doing.
`ant test` which has a too large scope anyway fails due to compilation
errors in `nbbuild/templates/common.xml:630`.
