Issues

• There needs to be a way to get extra debug information from a failing test. How do we turn that on? What code inside the test?

Problems and solutions

Listing individual problems from current (2003/01/09) test output.

1. When test cost is considered, output is bizarre:

   TEST COST  <function testStarts at 2220309> 10
   TOO COSTLY TEST <function testStarts at 2220309>
   
   Solution: new format for test output, test shouldn't print anything extra::
   
       [test method docstring] ... skipping (cost too high: 10).
   

2. Garbage when initalizing test.gfx:

   Init test.gfx
   ['__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__', 'client', 'fuzzy', 'gfx',
   'impl', 'media', 'util', 'vob']
   ['GraphicsAPI', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__']
   Jan 9, 2003 2:09:05 AM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$3 run
   WARNING: Could not create system preferences directory. System preferences
   are unusable.
   GW:  gzz.client.awt.FrameScreen@85097d
   
   Solution:
   
       - Fix init.gfx, it presumably outputs excess debug
   

3. gzz/media/impl/PageImageScroll.java has pa():

   Checked document of 0 pages
   
   Solution: fix method, debug information
   

4. Bizarre error again, not unlike 1.:

   TEST FAILS IN  <function testStripBlock at 4952321> *
   NOT RUNNING DUE TO WRONG F:  <function testStripBlock at 4952321>
   
   Solution: clarify or remove "NOT RUNNING DUE TO WRONG F:".
   

5. test/tools/gfx.py outputs "CBCF init".

   Solution: as in 3.

6. Some of the tests output debug information, eg:

   Test space saving and re-loading ... []

   ... (goes on and on)
   
   Solution: Fix test, debug information.
   

7. gzz/impl/mirror/MasterImpl.java outputs "Sending change:".

   Solution: As in 5.

8. Enfilades' test spurts weird things:

   Test enfilades consisting of no spans and a single span. ... Jan 9, 2003

   WARNING: Couldn't flush system prefs: java.util.prefs.BackingStoreException:
   Couldn't get file lock.
   
   Solution: No idea currently. Something is outputting debug info again excessivly.
   

9. SolidBGVob test outputs debug information, and the same problem as in 8.:
