Otto Fowler commented on VFS-685: --------------------------------- Understood. I wrote a provider for zookeeper, original in project. I was going to submit it but I'm going to release it outside the project. In order to get a FILE_OR_FOLDER type to work with the test cases, I needed to create FileOrFolder versions of a couple of the standard test cases, those classes now in my project and not in the vfs package. I cannot use these classes that extend the abstract test classes without FileInfo. Outside provider writers should be able to both run the tests, and add new tests. > Test classes should be public so test suits can be extended > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: VFS-685 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-685 > Project: Commons VFS > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Otto Fowler > Assignee: Otto Fowler > Priority: Major > > FileInfo and possibly other classes should be public, that way someone can > write tests for their providers that extend and are close to the same as the > project tests -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
