Fresh Source Build Fails Some Integration Tests

Old Forum Archive Bugs
1

I have been struggling to get an initial clean ./gradlew build run. At first, there were just obvious problems like:

  1. No JAVA_HOME set. (Installed the latest JDK8 from Oracle’s site and set JAVA_HOME)
  2. Problems with NativeBuilds. (Installed XCode on my MacBookPro)

But, now I have come to some failing integration tests which I think are actually problematic. I would have attached is a zip file containing the contents of the gradle/subprojects/launcher/build/reports/integTest directory immediately following the failed build, but new users cannot upload files. So, instead, I’ve posted them to:
http://technodabble.com/gradle/integTest.zip

The output from the command-line looks like this:
:launcher:integTest

Some of the continuous build integration tests are a little funky and are optimized to run in our virtualized CI environment (which introduces its own set of problems).

@lhotari are there any tricks to getting these tests to pass locally?

3

Those tests are broken on OSX. We’re looking at them, but they’re safe to ignore right now.

4

The tests have been fixed on OSX in the master branch. The WatchService implementation on OSX is a polling implementation and behaves in a different way compared to Linux or Windows WatchService.
