In the course of working on a new feature for thrift java, I rebased against master and hit a test hang runing `make check`. I tracked this down and have a fix out [1], but I was curious how this hang slipped by. I happen to have jenkins rights through Apache Aurora to view the job configuration for Thrift-all and I found it runs:
$ curl --netrc -sS https://builds.apache.org/job/Thrift-all/config.xml | xmllint --xpath "//command/text()" - #sh bootstrap.sh #sloccount --duplicates --wide --details lib tutorial test > sloccount.sc #cppcheck --error-exitcode=0 --force --xml lib/cpp/src/ lib/c_glib/src/ tutorial/cpp/ test/cpp/ 2> cppcheck-result.xml sh bootstrap.sh sh configure make make dist cd lib/java ant javadoc So `make` and `make dist`, but no `make check`. I'd like to propose adding make check to this set of commands to ensure make check is green. If folks agree this is a good idea, I can go ahead and make the edit. Thanks for your feedback.
