Description Chris Goldthorpe CLA 2010-11-23 18:30:19 EST 
The newly added test HelpServerBinding is failing on all three test platforms in the nightly builds but not in the same way. On WinXP and MacOSX the two tests for infocenter and standalone mode which are expected to access the help system using the IP address of the server (instead of 127.0.0.1) fail - this may be a firewall issue. On RHEL the test that in Workbench mode the server can only be accessed on 127.0.0.1, and not using the IP address of the server fails.

Patch to comment out the failing test conditions

For now I will comment out the problematic test cases but still need to investigate whether on Linux we are blocking remote access to the help server.
Comment 2 Chris Goldthorpe CLA 2010-11-24 14:58:36 EST 
On Linux InetAddress.getHostIP() is returning 127.0.0.1 rather than the actual IP address which is defeating the intent of the tests. Closing.
