Hi,
When running on my RHEL4 box with -Dprofile=cpp I'm getting a number
of failures due to the way we run our tests.
As a fresh broker is created for each test it appears that
occasionally the Socket hasn't been released so the next test can't
have a fresh broker.
Has anyone else found this? How easy would it be for the tests to
start the broker on a random port or for the broker to pick a free
port to start up on and the QpidTestCase to extract that and use it in
the tests?
I haven't seen this particular issue before. I'm a bit puzzled by how it
can occur since I believe the broker sets the SO_REUSADDR option on the
socket, and QpidTestCase should block until the broker process exits.
In any case, I think it shouldn't be too difficult to make the change
you suggest. If you specify -p0 the broker will bind to an unused port.
QpidTestCase already scans for a log message from the broker in order to
verify that it has actually bound to the port before allowing the test
to run. It should be straightforward to modify that same code to regex
out the chosen port number.
