[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-2549) ShellTest sometimes fails because of order of authentication strings returned

Michael Allen commented on ACCUMULO-2549:
-----------------------------------------

There was some local speculation that the version of the JDK may play a role in the order in which that string of authorizations is constructed, but I personally didn't try and test that theory.

> {{org.apache.accumulo.core.util.shell.ShellTest}} sometimes fails for me when run from the Maven command line.  Tracing down, I see that line 154 (1.5.1 version) contains the following
> {noformat}
>     exec("getauths", true, "y,z,x");
> {noformat}
> This test expects that the set of authorizations returns from the {{getauths}} command always come in the particular order "y,z,x".  For whatever reason, on my machine, they came out in a different order ("x,y,z" for the record).
> My proposed fix (patch shortly) would be to have the test look for those individual label strings returned within the authorization string.  I think this is a more accurate and future proof test than what's in there now.
