Re: OpenJDK 17 Early Access build 16 is now available

Posted by Enrico Olivelli <eo...@gmail.com>.
Rory,
unfortunately I have one test that is failing consistently on JDK17-ea
and it is not failing on JDK16.

I am testing on Linux/Ubuntu

For reference, this is the test case
https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/blob/c42c8c94085ed1d94a22158fbdfe2945118a82bc/zookeeper-server/src/test/java/org/apache/zookeeper/server/quorum/QuorumSSLTest.java#L775

this is the error
org.opentest4j.AssertionFailedError: expected: <true> but was: <false>
at org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumSSLTest.testOCSP(QuorumSSLTest.java:835)

it is about TLS and OCSP

I have to investigate a little bit more.
