[jira] Commented: (DERBY-514) Integrate upgrade tests into test suite

["Kathey Marsden (JIRA)" <de...@db.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-514?page=comments#action_12358408 ] 

Kathey Marsden commented on DERBY-514:
--------------------------------------

I think that this will require that previous versions of Derby be checked into the codeline.
Then the tests will access the databases with the various versions.  I am not sure the best location for the jars to live.   Previous versions would be also be good to have for other tests such as client/server compatiblity tests.

Also before rewriting these tests I think it would be good to have the  base upgrade infrastructure for 10.2.   I'll log a Jira isssue for that.

> Currently there are no upgrade tests in the derbyAll suite.
> The upgrade tests java/testing/org/apache/derbyTesting are run by script and require that the version to be tested by specified on the command line so that the classpath can be changed.
> # runphases old_major old_minor old_engine new_engine
> #
> # e.g.
> #
> # runphases 10 0 c:/derby/10.0.2.1/lib c:/derby/trunk/jars/sane
> Perhaps this script can be rewritten in Java using class loaders and  previous Derby verssions such as 10.0 and 10.1 be checked in so that this testing can   be incorporated into the derbyAll test suite.
