At first glance this test looks like a functional test, but it's so
exhaustive that it acts like a stress test. It's ran against every
timezone in the system, and in my system I have 608. It shouldn't be a
big deal to modify this test to execute in a reasonable time frame (at
least by default). During development I sometimes do one-off
exhaustive tests like this, but it's not practical to put them in a
test suite. For example, I tend to run anything that does bytecode
analysis against every class file on my hard drive. There is, of
course, nothing wrong with writing exhaustive tests that can be saved
and executed manually. Maybe we should have a special testsuite module
for this?
[NOTE: I would support splitting off generic time math into a separate
library. It's something that could be useful to other projects, and
it's one of those things that once you get it right, you shouldn't
need to update it much]
Just a FYI - I've a JIRA for making that test more
reasonable in terms
of the time it takes to run https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1690. My
plan was to let it run against the default timezone in every run (takes
a few milli seconds) and configure it to run against all timezones in a
specific maven profile. But like Carlo says, running and maintaining
that profile separately is a task in itself.
As for moving it to a separate library, it was indeed a separate library
in the timerservice project that we merged recently into AS codebase. I
think it probably makes sense to leave this library out of AS code base
and let it be independent library.
