Andrew Gaul updated JCLOUDS-778:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.7.4)
> Remove OS support tests from TemplateBuilderLiveTest, as people are ignoring
> failures
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JCLOUDS-778
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-778
> Project: jclouds
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: jclouds-core
> Reporter: Adrian Cole
> Fix For: 1.8.2, 1.9.0
>
>
> Developers don't seem to be running live tests much anymore. Prime example is
> even amazon ec2 is now rusting! JCLOUDS-775
> Part of this is likely that they fail for trivial reasons due to a somewhat
> obsessive test approach I introduced many years ago. Basically, we defined
> the "supported operating system" list in subtypes of
> BaseTemplateBuilderLiveTest. We once thought that we would test multiple os
> families, but we've never done that. In the mean time, the supported
> operating system part of the test is just something that breaks every 3
> months when a provider adds or removes an OS version. Since there's no action
> we can take on that, and this drowns out real issues in the provider, let's
> remove it.
> What we retain are more important aspects, such as properties apply, or that
> the default template resolves to known values. Since all our tests work off
> the resolved template, we do need to be aware when that changes.
