Hi all, one of the things that have been bothering me lately is that test dependency management in GeoServer is a bit messy:
- Having to declare the basic dependencies every time they are needed to write a test - Use of different libraries, or ad-hoc code while a library would do - General lack of uniformity I started with this PR <https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/5919>, that's centralizing all basic test dependencies in the main pom, giving all modules a basic set of testing tools that everyone can use with no extra effort: - junit and spring-test - hamcrest - xmlunit for xml testing - jsonpath for json testing - jsoup for HTML testing - awaitility for tests that need to wait for asynch processing (rather than doing fixed waits or hand made wait loops) Once that's in, I'd like to continue by: - Removing all Thread.sleep and replace with awaitility, that can poll for a certain condition up to a maximum wait time, but will exit as soon as the condition is met (will go fast on local machines, but wait enough for slow poke github actions) - Settle on _one_ mock library and migrate existing tests. I'd suggest going for mockito, it is more alive than easymock, and often easier to use. - Upgrade test libraries to latest (little by little) Opinions?
