[logging-log4cxx] branch LOGCXX-527_TS updated (38039220 -> f37ee15f)

This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

rmiddleton pushed a change to branch LOGCXX-527_TS
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/logging-log4cxx.git


    omit 38039220 Some former assumptions didn't hold anymore. Some tests use generic file names and if those exist during rollover, their last write time is used as new file name. That last write time might be arbitrary in the past and therefore broke existing checks about expected file names. Hence, those files have been deleted.
    omit b5db5f0a LOGCXX-527: mock the clock for tests
     new f37ee15f LOGCXX-527: mock the clock for tests

This update added new revisions after undoing existing revisions.
That is to say, some revisions that were in the old version of the
branch are not in the new version.  This situation occurs
when a user --force pushes a change and generates a repository
containing something like this:

 * -- * -- B -- O -- O -- O   (38039220)
            \
             N -- N -- N   refs/heads/LOGCXX-527_TS (f37ee15f)

You should already have received notification emails for all of the O
revisions, and so the following emails describe only the N revisions
from the common base, B.

Any revisions marked "omit" are not gone; other references still
refer to them.  Any revisions marked "discard" are gone forever.

The 1 revisions listed above as "new" are entirely new to this
repository and will be described in separate emails.  The revisions
listed as "add" were already present in the repository and have only
been added to this reference.


Summary of changes:


[logging-log4cxx] 01/01: LOGCXX-527: mock the clock for tests

Posted by rm...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

rmiddleton pushed a commit to branch LOGCXX-527_TS
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/logging-log4cxx.git

commit f37ee15f3b6029e193ad403f938cca8d8630215a
Author: Robert Middleton <ro...@rm5248.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Mar 24 21:23:14 2022 -0400

    LOGCXX-527: mock the clock for tests
    
    Mock the clock for unit tests to make them more reliable and configurable.
    This also cleans up some APR calls to make us less dependent on APR and
    more on standard C++ features
    
    Some former assumptions didn't hold anymore. Some tests use generic file
    names and if those exist during rollover, their last write time is used as
    new file name. That last write time might be arbitrary in the past and
    therefore broke existing checks about expected file names. Hence, those files have been deleted.
    
    That deletion was based on some naming convention and the number of the
    executed tests. But some tests simply didn't follow that convention and
    because some tests where commented, the expected numbers didn't work as
    well. So I've changed the implementation so that each test method needs
    to delete the file, as only each method knows which name is used.
    
    Additionally, I centralized things into an individual directory, as that
    is done for the corresponding witnesses as well already. Some witness
    file contents needed to be adjusted to what I think is the new behaviour,
    but not too sure who is correct, the former witness or the test implementation.
