[jbossts-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBTM-390) add ability to run DTF tests locally without DTF server

[Jonathan Halliday (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBTM-390?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12454449#action_12454449 ] 

Jonathan Halliday commented on JBTM-390:
----------------------------------------

Traced an intermittant failure in crash-recovery-12 test group to a problem with port binding in the recovery manager. Those tests kill and restart the recovery manager in quick sucession. The port sometimes does not get released fast enough, so it's not available for the restarted process to acquire. This is less of an issue for the DTF cluster as the run is slow enough that the problem does not manifest. In local mode however it occurs frequently enough to be really annoying. Added a simple delay-retry block to the recovery manager startup for test mode only, which seems to deal with the problem.

> JBossTS has a substantial investment in DTF tests. However, running these is a complex process, involving building and deploying to a pre-configured DTF instance or installing the DTF locally on the developer's workstation, including tomcat, mysql etc.
> Now the DTF is open source and the tests are likewise in the public repository, it would be nice for developers to be able to run them with less hassle, much like unit tests.
> This issue is tightly integrated with DTF-4, which covers provision of the necessary functionality in DTF.
