[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2570) Some improvements to _TestUtil and its usage

["Robert Muir (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2570?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12892691#action_12892691 ] 

Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2570:
-------------------------------------

bq. In that regard, we might want to output all the classes that obtained a static seed in reportAdditionalFailures(), instead of just the class that ran the test.

I think that one might be confusing? because one test class can't really affect another. I like all your other suggestions though!

> I've started this issue because I've noticed that _TestUtil.getRandomMultiplier() is called from many loops' condition check, sometimes hundreds and thousands of times. Each time it does Integer.parseInt after calling System.getProperty. This really can become a constant IMO, either in LuceneTestCase(J4) or _TestUtil, as it's not expected to change while tests are running ...
> I then reviewed the class and spotted some more things that I think can be fixed/improved:
> # getTestCodec() can become a constant as well
> # arrayToString is marked deprecated. I've checked an no one calls them, so I'll delete them. This is a 4.0 code branch + a test-only class. No need to deprecate anything.
> # getTempDir calls new Random(), instead of newRandom() in LuceneTestCaseJ4, which means that if something fails, we won't know the random seed used ...
> #* In that regard, we might want to output all the classes that obtained a static seed in reportAdditionalFailures(), instead of just the class that ran the test.
> # rmDir(String) can be removed IMO, and leave only rmDir(File)
> # I suggest we include some recursion in rmDir(File) to handle the deletion of nested directories.
> #* Also, it does not check whether the dir deletion itself succeeds (but it does so for the files). This can bite us on Windows, if some test did not close things properly.
> I'll work out a patch.
