-------------------------------
Summary: Unit Testing Framework fails to initialize properly on
Windows OS
Key: DS-1198
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1198
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0
Environment: Windows OS
Reporter: Tim Donohue
Assignee: Tim Donohue
Fix For: 3.0
With recent changes to the Unit Testing Framework (added after 1.8.x releases),
the AbstractUnitTest class fails to initialize the testing environment on
Windows OS.
The reason that the testing environment fails to initialize properly is because
of the difference in file path separators (i.e. Windows uses backslashes as
path separators, which we all know cause issues in Java Strings if not escaped
properly).
This problem comes into play in the dspace-api & dspace-stats POMs, as they
both use the ${project.build.directory} maven property to initialize the
"dspace.dir" in dspace.cfg, etc. On Windows, unfortunately the
${project.build.directory} has backslashes as path separators, which causes
issues in initializing the DSpace test environment.
The end result is that you end up with FileNoteFoundExceptions when the test
environment attempts to load anything in the "config" directory.
Although this isn't a major issue, it's obviously a problem for folks
developing on Windows who want to also perform Unit Testing. Currently it's not
possible to run any unit tests on Windows.
I've found a way to fix this issue in the Maven POMs & will submit a pull
request for review shortly.
