TINKERPOP-1365 Refactored use of Random in tests Each test suite now uses the same instance of Random which prints the seed given to it so that if there is a failure, we can easily try to recreate it by taking the seed and passing it in as a system property with -DtestSeed. The output logs as: ```text [INFO] org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.TestHelper - *** THE RANDOM TEST SEED IS 1529585621517 *** ``` I didn't replace all of the old use of `Random` - there were a couple places where I felt like a true `Random` was still necessary and just left it alone despite the horror it might cause. Going forward we'll want to use the `TestHelper.RANDOM` whenever possible (or, better, just not use a `Random` at all). All tests pass with `docker/build.sh -t -n -i` VOTE +1 You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop TINKERPOP-1365 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/881.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #881 ---- commit 12d9c793dda7b4cd98122756331916362055f389 Author: Stephen Mallette <spmva@...> Date: 2018-06-21T14:11:58Z TINKERPOP-1365 Refactored use of Random in tests Each test suite now uses the same instance of Random which prints the seed given to it so that if there is a failure, we can easily try to recreate it by taking the seed and passing it in as a system property with -DtestSeed. ---- ---
