At present, our pom.xml for some of the Valgrind plugin tests is set to never run the test suites that require Valgrind itself to be installed. It would be better if this were done in the build-server profile and not by default. Note that one can still run these test suites locally by launching from within Eclipse. Post-Indigo.
Roland, would you please check whether this is still needed? I think I have done something similar not so long ago but someone more familiar with valgrind taking a look would definetely help.
This property exists in ValgrindTestsPlugin.java, SYSTEM_PROPERTY_RUN_VALGRIND. It is set to "no" in the actual top-level pom that manages the running of tycho-surefire. It will just simulate the running of Valgrind with pre-generated log files. In the case that his property isn't set valgrind will actually run and generate the files. Resolving as fixed.
