             Summary: Conditionally Ignore Junit Tests
                 Key: NIFI-3593
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3593
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Tools and Build
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 1.2.0
            Reporter: Puspendu Banerjee



We should incorporate a capability to conditionally ignore unit tests which are not relevant to certain condition, environment, language, locale etc.
For example, 
# YUI compressor fails on windows
# CEFParser fails on non-English environment and we are yet to get an updated version for that.

Definitely, we can craft our test-cases to fit in, but that may lead to unintended foul-play. Instead of that if we run those tests in  a quarantine, still we will have a clear view of what ran and what not as well as we will be able to proceed through a green build. 

As long as release management is concerned,  
# we need to be very careful about choosing what to quarantine or conditionally ignore
# we should have a clean quarantine before release for certain environment.
I am thinking about some annotation driven solution like the below one, so that we can easily track it and report.
{code:java}
@IgnoreOn(since:Date, reason:String, conditionExpr:String)
{code}

The way Junit's *assume* or *assumeThat* works doesn't fit in directly.
Looking forward for inputs.
