I will investigate the stability. Anyway, in the current setup, a failing test without `writeFilesAndWaitForScan` is rerun with `writeFilesAndWaitForScan` before reporting failure. The rerun mechanism was already set up and indicates unstable or flaky tests. On the other hand: some of the flakiness appears to depend on badly formatted input and output. Just by using text blocks and fixing up the broken input or expected test values, instead of long string chains with plusses to append them and test that fail on the timing because of a race between properly formatted code and improperly formatted code does not look very good to me either. Maybe it's time someone invested some time in test stability. That should have a high priority. I and willing to put in my two cents. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
