[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-23285) integration tests should share runtime downloads so that each test doesn't have to re-download the same runtime zips, and no longer use EOL'd runtimes

[Martin Malina (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-23285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13303008#comment-13303008 ] 

Martin Malina commented on JBIDE-23285:
---------------------------------------

The original idea was that even if we don't support these older runtimes anymore, there is no reason to remove these adapters from JBoss Tools - as long as they seem to work, it doesn't hurt to have them. And since we still have these adapters in the tools, why not have tests for them if it doesn't require any extra effort (it's basically the same test that we use for newer servers).

Are you suggesting we remove the older server adapters from the tools? If not, why remove the servers from tests?

What should be definitely fixed is the case where different tests use different version.
I will check that and try to unify.

> While running the integration tests today to investigate JBDS-4077, I discovered that:
> * org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.ui.bot.test requires 11 runtimes, some of which are well past their EOL date [1]:
> {code}jboss-3.2.8.SP1  jboss-4.2.3.GA  jboss-5.1.0.GA     jboss-as-7.0.2.Final  wildfly-10.0.0.CR2   wildfly-9.0.1.Final
> jboss-4.0.5.GA   jboss-5.0.1.GA  jboss-6.1.0.Final  jboss-as-7.1.1.Final  wildfly-8.2.0.Final{code}
> * org.jboss.tools.deltaspike.ui.bot.test requires 1 runtime, wildfly-10.0.0.Final
> [1] https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/jboss_notes/eol vs. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/jboss_notes/
> So, three problems here:
> a) different tests use different versions of the same runtime (WFLY 10.0.0.CR2 vs. Final)
> b) different tests re-download their runtimes every time you do a clean, instead of fetching runtimes from a cache. So the same 160M of WFLY 10 gets downloaded twice. 
> c) we still test on runtimes that have been EOL'd years ago, such as AS 4.0 and earlier.
