StateTransferFunctionalTest random failures ------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-6236 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-6236 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Bug Components: Test Suite - Core Affects Versions: 8.2.0.Beta2 Reporter: Dan Berindei Assignee: Dan Berindei Labels: testsuite_stability Fix For: 8.2.0.CR1 Since the ISPN-6214 fix, the global components are started when the {{DefaultCacheManager}} is started. This includes {{LocalTopologyManager}} and {{ClusterTopologyManager}}, created in the {{GlobalComponentRegistry}} constructor, and they also pull in the {{Transport}} component. In {{StateTransferFunctionalTest}} and its subclasses, this means the JGroups channel is created and joins the cluster before the {{JoiningNode}} registers its view listener. Because the listener is registered after the view update, it doesn't receive any notifications, and {{waitForJoin()}} always times out. We should remove the {{JoiningNode}} class altogether, because merges during initial cluster formation are practically impossible with our current test setup.
