: By allowing Random to randomly seed itself, we effectively test a much : much larger space, ie every time we all run the test, it's different. We can : potentially cast a much larger net than a fixed seed.
i guess i'm just in favor of less randomness and more iterations. : Fixing the bug is the "easy" part; discovering a bug is present is where : we need all the help we can get ;) yes, but knowing a bug is there w/o having any idea what it is or how to trigger it can be very frustrating. it would be enough for tests to pick a random number, log it, and then use it as the seed ... that way if you get a failure you at least know what seed was used and you can then hardcode it temporarily to reproduce/debug -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
