             Summary: Test framework for CLI-based tests can be very slow
                 Key: AS7-4535
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4535
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Test Suite
    Affects Versions: 7.1.2.Final-redhat1
            Reporter: David Bosschaert
            Assignee: Ondrej Zizka
            Priority: Minor

The org.jboss.as.test.integration.management.base.AbstractCliTestBase provides a suitable API for testing CLI-based operations. However, running tests with a relatively large number of CLI operations can take a *long* time, seemingly much longer than necessary. This is probably related to the fact that CLIWrapper.readAllAsOpResult() method always seems to wait until the lineTimeout has expired. 
Typically the WAIT_LINETIMEOUT value is used for this argument. Shortening the timeout is not an option as I have seen cases where a test would fail when run on a slow machine, but this only happens occasionally.
It would be *much* better if a timeout was not needed for this and the test would wait until a certain operation was finished.

This can be observed in org.jboss.as.test.integration.management.cli.JmsTestCase and I also experienced it when writing the org.jboss.as.test.integration.osgi.management.OSGiManagementTestCase.
