[jira] [Created] (MATH-1340) "serializeAndRecover" testing utility swallows exceptions

Gilles created MATH-1340:
----------------------------

             Summary: "serializeAndRecover" testing utility swallows exceptions
                 Key: MATH-1340
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1340
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Gilles
            Assignee: Gilles
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 4.0


Class {{TestUtils}} (in the "test" part of the repository) contains a "serializeAndRecover" method that catches "IOException" and "ClassNotFoundException" and just returns "null".

When testing code changes, some unit tests can thus throw "NullPointerException".  Even if the returned value is checked for "null", there is no trace as to what caused it (the original stack trace is lost).

I propose to wrap the exception in a "RuntimeException" and rethrow it.
