[infinispan-dev] Timing related tests

Some tests - like ExpiryTest - rely on certain timings for the test to run, and due to thread scheduling on our parallel test suite, tend to occasionally fail on certain environments such as CloudBees: https://infinispan.ci.cloudbees.com/job/Infinispan-master-JDK6-tcp/org.in... In this example, entries are placed in the data container with a 30 second lifespan, tested for existence, wait 30s, and test for non-existence. The failure here is that the first test for existence fails since the thread is de-scheduled for a period of time between storing the entry and the first test. Upping the lifespan just moves the problem - and makes the test suite run slower (got to wait for that lifespan before testing again). How about we group such tests into a new group, "timeSensitiveTests", and *don't* run these on CI environments (but *do* run them on local environments where response times are more reasonable/predictable)? Thoughts? Cheers Manik -- Manik Surtani manik(a)jboss.org twitter.com/maniksurtani Lead, Infinispan http://www.infinispan.org
