[logging-log4cxx] branch LOGCXX-527_TS created (now 38039220)

This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

tschoening pushed a change to branch LOGCXX-527_TS
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/logging-log4cxx.git


      at 38039220 Some former assumptions didn't hold anymore. Some tests use generic file names and if those exist during rollover, their last write time is used as new file name. That last write time might be arbitrary in the past and therefore broke existing checks about expected file names. Hence, those files have been deleted.

This branch includes the following new commits:

commit 380392204e59a88db7825f784358a36ed85e37a3
Author: Thorsten Schöning <ts...@am-soft.de>
AuthorDate: Fri Aug 19 20:40:57 2022 +0200

    Some former assumptions didn't hold anymore. Some tests use generic file names and if those exist during rollover, their last write time is used as new file name. That last write time might be arbitrary in the past and therefore broke existing checks about expected file names. Hence, those files have been deleted.
    
    That deletion was based on some naming convention and the number of the executed tests. But some tests simply didn't follow that convention and because some tests where commented, the expected numbers didn't work as well. So I've changed the implementation so that each test method needs to delete the file, as only each method knows which name is used.
    
    Additionally, I centralized things into an individual directory, as that is done for the corresponding witnesses as well already. Some witness file contents needed to be adjusted to what I think is the new behaviour, but not too sure who is correct, the former witness or the test implementation.
