In trouble, proposing to subtract a process

[Benson Margulies <bi...@gmail.com>]

I've managed to make some of the WSA policy tests fail.

These tests use the 'launch another process' discipline, which looks to
make it pretty tough to debug the server end of things. In fact, I can't
get them to run in Eclipse at all.

There was previous conversation about just allowing them to run all in
one process, like many of our other test do.

Please speak up if you find this distressing.

Hi

What I do to debug such tests is I comment out the content of startServers() and
and invoke the content of a run() directly from the test code...

But will it turn such tests into complicated unit tests ?

Cheers, Sergey

So, I did that, and I don't know how much spew I've caused. If you see
it spewing, tell me and I'll put it back.

Benson,

In general, just change the call of:
launchServer(Server.class)
to:
launchServer(Server.class, true)
which brings it in-process.

I actually have no problem leaving it that way providing that when it 
runs from the command line, it doesn't spit out a lot of crap to the 
console.    A couple of the servers do print out things when they run 
which gets captured in the forked version.

That said, I'd LIKE to add an option (probably a sys property or 
something) to the forked processes to allow jpda debugging.
