[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-4415) TestCase could check for superclass of Dialect before skipping it

TestCase could check for superclass of Dialect before skipping it ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4415 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4415 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: annotations Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Attachments: ANN-CheckSuperclassDialectsBeforeSkip.diff If a subclass of org.hibernate.test.annotations.TestCase is annotated with @RequiresDialect (or any of its methods), TestCase tries to match the exact name of the dialect in order to decide to skip it or not. My suggestion (and the attached patch) adds another check. If I specify the superclass of a set of dialects (like Oracle8iDialect, which is superclass of Oracle9i and Oracle10g), the test won't skip the subclasses of Oracle8iDialect. How to reproduce: 1) Create a test case annotated with @RequiresDialect(Oracle8iDialect.class) 2) Configure the test to run using the Oracle9iDialect 3) The test will be skipped, even though Oracle9iDialect is a subclass of Oracle8iDialect After the patch, the step 3 would be: 3) The test is not skipped. If there's a reason to not check the superclasses, please reject this JIRA. Otherwise, please review it and commit (or assign it back to me to commit).
