[jira] [Updated] (DERBY-5801) Sub-processes should write EMMA
coverage data to separate files
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5801?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-5801:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: separate.diff
Attached is the patch I used for my experiments. It makes the sub-processes write coverage data to coverage-1.ec, coverage-2.ec, ..., instead of the coverage.ec file written to by the main test process.
I created the test reports by running EMMA manually on the generated ec files when I ran these experiments, not by using the emma-all or emma-single ant targets. The final patch will have to update those targets as well so that they pick up all the ec files and not just coverage.ec.

> When generating EMMA coverage reports after running suites.All, I frequently see that coverage.ec is corrupted, and no report is produced. Typical failures look like this:

> I suspect that the problem is that all sub-processes spawned by the main test process write to the same file, sometimes multiple processes running at the same time, and that the file gets corrupted because there's no coordination between the processes when they're writing to it.
> Experiments I have run also indicate that making the sub-processes write to different files helps (I haven't managed to reproduce the corruption yet with that change), so I suggest we make that change.
