The Performance test org.eclipse.ua.tests.testStartServer is failing for some time. It fails unable to connect to the server. This fails only on windows machine. Here is the call stack that is reported ####### java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:333) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:195) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:182) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:366) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:525) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:475) at sun.net.NetworkClient.doConnect(NetworkClient.java:163) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.openServer(HttpClient.java:394) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.openServer(HttpClient.java:529) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTPHeader(HttpClient.java:760) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTP(HttpClient.java:632) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1072) at org.eclipse.ua.tests.help.util.LoadServletUtil.startServer(LoadServletUtil.java:38) at org.eclipse.ua.tests.help.performance.HelpServerTest.testStartServer(HelpServerTest.java:76) at org.eclipse.test.EclipseTestRunner.run(EclipseTestRunner.java:416) at org.eclipse.test.EclipseTestRunner.run(EclipseTestRunner.java:249) at org.eclipse.test.UITestApplication$2.run(UITestApplication.java:197) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.RunnableLock.run(RunnableLock.java:35) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Synchronizer.runAsyncMessages(Synchronizer.java:134) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runAsyncMessages(Display.java:4059) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3678) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:2640) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runUI(Workbench.java:2604) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.access$4(Workbench.java:2438) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$7.run(Workbench.java:671) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:332) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:664) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:149) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.start(IDEApplication.java:115) at org.eclipse.test.UITestApplication.runApplication(UITestApplication.java:140) at org.eclipse.test.UITestApplication.run(UITestApplication.java:62) at org.eclipse.test.UITestApplication.start(UITestApplication.java:212) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:196) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:110) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:79) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:369) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:179) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:622) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:577) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1410) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1386) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:34) #####
The test is passing locally. One reason why the test may be failing on the test machine is that it needs to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost when creating a URL to read the server and firewalls will sometimes cause localhost to get blocked even though 127.0.0.1 is allowed. This does not affect the quality of the build and can be fixed for 3.7M5.
I can now reproduce the problem and I retract my previous explanation for the failure. The test fails on my PC when using a Sun 6 JRE - it may be a race condition because the test repeatedly stops and starts the server in a loop and the start and stop occur on a different thread to the read from server.
Created attachment 184906 [details] Patch The problem was related to stopping the help server and then restarting on the same port instead of letting Jetty pick a port each time. I don't exactly know why this shows up as a problem only on certain JREs but this patch will fix the problem.
Patch applied to HEAD, Fixed.
