[jira] Commented: (DERBY-834) i18n/urlLocale.sql test fails on Windows XP

["Myrna van Lunteren (JIRA)" <de...@db.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-834?page=comments#action_12367254 ] 

Myrna van Lunteren commented on DERBY-834:
------------------------------------------

This behavior is completely intended whenever the test is run on a machine that does not have the en_US lcoale set.

observe this in the .sql:
-----------------------
create procedure checkDatabaseLoc(in locale char(12)) parameter style java language java external name 'org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.i18n.DefaultLocale.checkDatabaseLocale';
create procedure checkRDefaultLoc() parameter style java language java external name 'org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.i18n.DefaultLocale.checkRDefaultLocale';
-- this current database was created with the default locale
call checkDatabaseLoc('en_US');
call checkRDefaultLoc();
------------------------
so, it assumes that the default locale was en_US. Observe for example this in the DefaultLocale.java:
------------------------
	// used in urlLocale test
	public static void checkRDefaultLocale() throws SQLException
	{
		System.out.println(savedLocale);
		if (!savedLocale.equals("en_US"))
			throw new SQLException("wrong_locale");
	}
--------------------------


Now, whether this is a reasonable assumption is a different question...

So far, the only way I have found of ensuring that the test runs with default locale set to en_US is by hacking into the test harness' jvm.java and forcing user.country to US and user.language to en.

Is that an acceptable thing to do?

I will experiment some more with different ways of setting this parameter.

> I don't see this test on my platform (XP, JDK 1.4, en_US locale), maybe it's a Norwegian thing :)
