----------------------------------------
Summary: timebasedrollingtest fails for seconds related filenames
Key: LOGCXX-457
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-457
Project: Log4cxx
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Tests
Affects Versions: 0.11.0
Environment: Windows 8.1 x64, C++-Builder 10 Seattle
Reporter: Thorsten Schöning
Assignee: Thorsten Schöning
I'm building 0.11.0 and except timebasedrollingtest all tests pass. Using
process monitor I can see that in that test some files with timestamps in their
name with seconds resolution are not available as expected and form looking at
the code in my opinion this is a bug in the test and can't work at all.
Looking at the history, problems with this test have been reported before in
LOGCXX-206, where it first was simply disabled and enabled afterwards, but
without any noticable changes or documentation to the problem. It just seemed
to work now.
But lets look at test 6: First, some filenames are build containing a timestamp
starting with "now" and each new filename is expected to be one second in the
future. But the important thing is that the names start with "now"!
Afterwards the tests waits always(!) for at least the next second, is than
writing to some files and checking the existence of the file names created
before with the expected timestamp names. Process Monitor reveals that the
first checked filename is always missing.
But isn't that expected behavior, because the first fielname is created with
"now" in mind, explicitly not in the future, and one second is waited
afterwards, so the writes are in the future now? This looks like it can't ever
work ever and it's always only the first file missing.
Besides that, there some code reduncany in that file, so I decided to create
this bug to document my findings, clean the code up a bit and deal with the
failing test afterwards.
