[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-1087) Release JGroups 2.4.7

[Richard Achmatowicz (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-1087?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12492690#action_12492690 ] 

Richard Achmatowicz commented on JGRP-1087:
-------------------------------------------

A note to myself: there are problems with tests like SizeTest and IpAddressTest which make use of constructors like this:

IpAddress(5555) ;
IpAddress("127.0.0.1", 5555)
IpAddress(localhost, 5555)

Each of these may create different objects, based on several factors:
(i) the setting of java.net.preferIPv6Addresses
(ii) the entries found for localhost in /etc/hsosts

These can lead to test failures, depending on the settings for (i) and (ii).

For example, if /etc/hosts has entries
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1                   localhost

Then resolving localhost to 127.0.0.1 or ::1 depends on the setting of java.net.preferIPv6Addresses

Also, because IpAddress(port) calls InetAddress.getLocalHost() to get an IP address, the resulting IP address obtained also depends upon this setting.

So tests can fail in one environment and pass in another.

SizeTest needs to be fixed up to avoid some of these problems.
