grails-core tests fail when run with gradlew test

[dmurat]

Hi

I'm having trouble with running grails-core tests. After cloning repo, and executing "gradlew install", "gradlew test" consistently fails on "org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.binding.JSONBindingToNullTests.testXmlBindingToNull()". It reports "org.xml.sax.SAXParserException: Premature end of file". I can provide full stacktrace if necessary.

Is this known issue, or is there some option needed to be set for tests to succeed? I mean, maybe I'm doing something wrong since the test does succeed on official hudson server.

Same test fails on both Ubuntu and Windows 7 while using sun jdk 1.6.0_26.

Best regards,
Damir Murat

I believe I've found a workaround for this issue.

First, it should be noted that I was able to successfully run the test from an IDE (IDEA). With this in mind, and after looking at "grails-core/grails-test-suite-web/build.gradle", I tried to isolate a test as it is already done for some others in "build.gradle".

After that, test succeeded, but another one failed on Ubuntu (org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.converters.ControllerWithXmlConvertersTests.testConvertArrayWithNullElements()), but not on Windows 7. Without looking at details, I added that test in isolation too. And it worked :-)

Bellow is a modified version of "grails-core/grails-test-suite-web/build.gradle":
--------------------------
dependencies {

    testRuntime 'javax.servlet.jsp:jsp-api:2.1'
    testRuntime 'jstl:jstl:1.1.2'
    testRuntime 'javax.el:el-api:1.0'

    testCompile "commons-io:commons-io:${commonsIOVersion}"
    testCompile project(':grails-test-suite-base'),
                project(':grails-plugin-testing'),
                project(':grails-plugin-domain-class'),
                project(':grails-plugin-codecs'),
                project(':grails-plugin-datasource'),
                project(':grails-plugin-i18n'),
                project(':grails-plugin-servlets'),
                project(':grails-plugin-logging'),
                project(':grails-plugin-url-mappings'),
                project(':grails-plugin-services'),
                project(':grails-hibernate'),
                project(':grails-webflow')
}
test {
    maxParallelForks = 4
    forkEvery = 100
    jvmArgs = ['-Xmx1024M','-XX:MaxPermSize=192m']
    excludes = ["**/*TestCase.class",
                "**/*\$*.class",
                "**/ContentFormatControllerTests.class",
                "**/JSONBindingTests.class",
                "**/AutoParams*MarshallingTests.class",
                "**/JSONBindingToNullTests.class",
                "**/ControllerWithXmlConvertersTests.class"]
}

task isolatedTestsOne(type:Test) {
    includes = [
                "**/ContentFormatControllerTests.class"
                ]
}
task isolatedTestsTwo(type:Test) {
    includes = [
                "**/JSONBindingTests.class",
                "**/AutoParams*MarshallingTests.class"]
}
task isolatedTestsThree(type:Test) {
    includes = [
                "**/JSONBindingToNullTests.class",
                "**/ControllerWithXmlConvertersTests.class"
                ]
}


test.dependsOn isolatedTestsOne, isolatedTestsTwo, isolatedTestsThree
--------------------------

Please note that now all grails-core tests pass on Ubuntu, but some still fail on Windows 7. However, this is another issue.

Just curious... anybody else has this issue, or it is just me?
