Description David Williams CLA 2012-05-24 11:48:51 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #380486 +++

It seems this test suite always hangs, on ALL platforms, for 4.2 only. For 3.8 they seem to complete "fine" on all platform. 


As requested in bug 380486, we'll put in a releng "fix" to skip the tests for Juno, for 4.2 only, and add them back once root problem of bug 380486 has been fixed.

From original bug ... 

this may mean an edit to

eclipse.platform.releng.eclipsebuilder/eclipse/buildConfigs/sdk.tests/testScripts/test.xml

I'll check.

I'd like to go ahead and put this in now, for tonight's respin. 

Should be safe, since just commenting out a test. 

        <!-- don't run now, for 4.2. See bug 380553.
        <antcall target="uircp" />
        -->

It does require "moving" the test.xml file to the "stream specific" section of maps project, but, we have other stream specific aspects of tests, so is not new.

That looks like what we want to get rid of.

committed and pushed for 3.8 and 4.2 (the test was left in 3.8, but following convention, the test.xml is moved to 
/org.eclipse.releng/configuration/eclipseBuilderOverlays
so the builder needs just one change (test.xml left behind with a comment). 

but each maps project needs the test.xml in the "new" stream-specific location.
Comment 5 David Williams CLA 2012-05-25 15:15:55 EDT 
confirmed these tests do not run in 4.2 unit tests, but do still run in 3.8 unit tests (whew ... it nice with a "simple change" works :)
Comment 6 David Williams CLA 2012-05-25 15:17:54 EDT 
Note: I don't think we need a new bug to track, but once bug 380486 is fixed, this "work around" should be reverted so same test suites in all builds.
Comment 7 Dani Megert CLA 2013-01-31 10:48:42 EST 
This fix wasn't really good. See bug 399650 for details.
