So I wanted to build tika from source, and failed:
Failures:
TabularFormatsTest.testSAS7BDAT:229->assertContents:216 en_US Wrong
text in row 9 and column 7 - 03(MAR|Mar)(63|1963)[:\s]09:46:40(.00)? vs
03Mär1963:09:46:40.00
TabularFormatsTest.testXLS:236->assertContents:216 en_US Wrong text
in row 9 and column 7 - 03(MAR|Mar)(63|1963)[:\s]09:46:40(.00)? vs
03Mär63 09:46:40
TabularFormatsTest.testXLSB:250->assertContents:216 en_US Wrong text
in row 9 and column 7 - 03(MAR|Mar)(63|1963)[:\s]09:46:40(.00)? vs
03Mär63 09:46:40
TabularFormatsTest.testXLSX:243->assertContents:216 en_US Wrong text
in row 9 and column 7 - 03(MAR|Mar)(63|1963)[:\s]09:46:40(.00)? vs
03Mär63 09:46:40
It fails because the expected "Mar" is not identical to "Mär". I tried
to set the Locale to the US
@Before
public void setUp()
{
Locale.setDefault(Locale.US);
}
but this works only when the test is run alone, not if the whole build
is running, despite that the Locale is set. See the output above, I have
changed the assert to
assertTrue(Locale.getDefault() + " " + error,
((Pattern)table[cn][rn]).matcher(val).matches());
A possible solution would be to change the test file to have June
instead of March, but we could still get in trouble e.g. in Russia,
China, Korea, Thailand, Japan, ....
