             Summary: Check feature requirements before opening graph during tests
                 Key: TINKERPOP3-936
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP3-936
             Project: TinkerPop 3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: test-suite
    Affects Versions: 3.0.2-incubating, 3.0.1-incubating, 3.1.0-incubating
            Reporter: Jonathan Ellithorpe
            Assignee: stephen mallette
            Priority: Minor


In AbstractGremlinTest, setup() opens a graph before checking whether or not the graph meets the feature requirements to run the current test. In the case that the graph does not meet the requirements, then opening the graph was wasted work, since the test will not run. For some graph database implementations this wasted work may be trivial, but for others it may be significant (for example, if the graph object must establish connections to remote servers). This wasted work adds up for each test that is skipped.

If there is a way to check the features of a given graph implementation without instantiating a new graph instance, then the order of graph instantiation and feature requirement checking could be reversed, and significantly reduce the time it takes to run a suite of unit tests.
