[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

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-23285:
------------------------------------

Note that this isn't really an issue of disk space in a jenkins slave, but rather when users run the i-tests themselves locally. If they're that hard, lengthy, or bloated (too much disk) then people may not run them very often, and we may miss problems. CI jobs only run on so many platforms (RHEL 6/7, Win 8.1/10)... we have no OSX CI jobs, afaik, so we'll never catch integration issues on OSX unless people run these by hand.

> 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.
