Peter - I've uploaded a patch for a first simple test case. This is
mainly to verify that I'm doing the process right, but I'll be very
interested if it hits.
Please let me know if there are any problems. I've deliberately avoided
granting the ASF license because I want no risk at all of it getting
into distributed code. River developers are, of course, licensed to use
it in test environments.
Thanks,
Patricia

Hi Patricia,
Yes I'll run the tests, upload your patches against the current tree to
JIRA, I'll upload my results there too. I've set up an issue there for
TaskManager, I can't remember the reference number off the top of my head.
Regards,
Peter.

Peter - This is a request for help running some tests. As you know, I
don't yet have a viable test environment.
I have reached some hypotheses about what is going on with various
suspicious-looking sequence number based runAfter tests. It is
possible that testing of a modified version might eliminate one or
more of my hypotheses. Unfortunately, confirming them is a matter of
analysis, unless we can track down an original implementer to answer
some questions.
For example, there are some places where I believe the sequence number
check is harmless because the tasks were added to the TaskManager in
ascending sequence number order. The TaskManager javadoc does not make
it entirely clear that the runAfter test is only shown tasks that were
added before "this", so some programmers may have added a sequence
number check unnecessarily. I would like to insert an assertion, or
logging, or some other reporting mechanism that will tell me if I'm
wrong.
If you can help with running the tests, please let me know what form
you would like the changes, and the recommended mechanism for getting
the reports.
Thanks,
Patricia

If you have any insights that should be added please e-mail them to me.
