------------------------------------------

             Summary: InvalidSnapshotTest corrupts its own test data
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-4232
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-4232
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Damien Diederen
            Assignee: Damien Diederen


{{InvalidSnapshotTest.testSnapshot}} starts an instance of {{ZooKeeperServer}} on the version-controlled {{invalidsnap}} directory, which, as a side-effect, "fixes" the following snapshot—which is broken on purpose (see ZOOKEEPER-367):

{{zookeeper-server/src/test/resources/data/invalidsnap/version-2/snapshot.83f}}

This status quo creates a number of problems:
 # It makes the test ineffective after the first run;
 # The file shows as modified in version control tools, which can be annoying;
 # The "fixed" snapshot can end up being committed by mistake, invalidating the test.

(#3 is not theoretical; that "fixed" snapshot frequently shows up in pull requests, and was recently merged into master.).
