jay vyas commented on BIGTOP-1222:
----------------------------------

Update on this:  I now have the gradleized smoke tests working for TestHadoopExamples.  the key was to add a BIGTOP_HOME enviornmental variable so that , if not runnign from jar, the groovy scripts can directly copy the stuff in resources/ to the DFS.  

Will post a patch once I validate that this approach works for at least one other ecosystem components (i.e. pig,hive, etc..)

> Currently, there is a JIRA underway to make running the maven based smoke tests easier:  BIGTOP-1195.  
> Eventually, however, maybe we could run these smokes from gradle.    I think that will obviate BIGTOP-1195 (Although i still assert a bash driver is a big win/gain for bigtop's goals : which are to unify the hadoop packaging and deployment paradigm).
> - run the smokes using a simple gradle goal
> - smokes should be easily runnable as scripts, with no need for jar file intermediates.
> - The bash driver for BIGTOP-1195 (if accepted, still under debate) should be upgraded to use the new gradle smokes
> - Delete old maven smokes. 
> This might be a little ambitious, if so others chime in.  I'm not a gradle/groovy expert but getting more well versed.
