Bug 116226 – version bump: dev-java/commons-net-1.4.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Josh Nichols (RETIRED) 2005-12-20 19:02:08 UTC]

We are currently at 1.3.0... and 1.4.1 was relased a week or so ago.

A simple bump doesn't seem to entire cut it. With USE=junit, I found the tests fail:

    [junit] Running org.apache.commons.net.time.TimeTCPClientTest
    [junit] Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Time elapsed: 1.093 sec
    [junit] Testsuite: org.apache.commons.net.time.TimeTCPClientTest
    [junit] Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Time elapsed: 1.093 sec

    [junit] Testcase: testInitial took 0.009 sec
    [junit] Testcase: testCompareTimes took 1.074 sec
    [junit]     Caused an ERROR
    [junit] null
    [junit] java.lang.NullPointerException
    [junit]     at org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient.disconnect(SocketClient.java:266)
    [junit]     at org.apache.commons.net.time.TimeTCPClientTest.testCompareTimes(TimeTCPClientTest.java:133)



I put an ebuild up on experimental at http://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/gentoo-java-experimental/dev-java/commons-net

I managed to fix the null pointers, and filed a bug upstream: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37985

The next issue is that another test in the same TestCase attempts to lookup the local machine's hostname. If the host doens't have a fully qualified domain name and doesn't have an entry in /etc/hosts for the hostname, then the test will fail.

So I looked into it a little more, and apparently you don't get the null pointers in the first place if you have your hostname in your /etc/hosts file.

Fixed in CVS. I've disabled unit tests for now, until we it can get fixed upstream...
