Ling Mao updated CASSANDRA-20474:
---------------------------------
Priority: Low (was: Normal)
> Ant supports repeatedly running a unit test multiple times.
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-20474
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-20474
> Project: Apache Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Test/unit
> Reporter: Ling Mao
> Priority: Low
>
> As inspired by this insightful blog [1], consider a scenario where we have a
> command like:
> {code:java}
> ant test-iteration
> -Dtest.name=org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageServiceServerTest
> -Dtest.iters=5{code}
> This command enables running a specific test multiple times using the
> -Dtest.iters parameter. When combined with "{*}_stress-ng_{*}", reproducing
> flaky tests becomes significantly easier. However, implementing this feature
> is challenging due to Ant properties being immutable. Below are three
> potential solutions:
>
> {_}*Solution A*{_}:
> Create a temporary directory to track iterations and sequentially call ant
> testsome-single via a bash script. The drawback is that it cannot execute all
> test cases within the same JVM.
>
> {code:java}
> <exec executable="mktemp" outputproperty="temp.iter.file">
> <arg value="-p"/>
> <arg value="/tmp"/>
> <arg value="test_iters_XXXXXX"/>
> </exec>
> <echo message="Generated temp file: ${temp.iter.file}"/>
> <echo file="${temp.iter.file}" message="0"/>
>
> <exec executable="bash" failonerror="true">
> <arg value="-c"/>
> <arg value='
> while [ $(cat ${temp.iter.file}) -lt ${test.iters} ]; do
> ant testsome-single -Dtest.name=${test.name}
> -Dtest.methods=${test.methods};
> echo $(($(cat ${temp.iter.file}) + 1)) > ${temp.iter.file};
> done
> '/>
> </exec>{code}
>
>
> {_}*Solution B*{_}:
> Similar to the approach in a particular PR, rely on JavaScript for iteration
> logic. But this solution is no longer viable since JDK 15 removed the Nashorn
> engine.
>
> {_}*Solution C*{_}:
> Introduce external dependencies such as Ant-Contrib or Groovy scripts. For
> instance, Apache Lucene utilized Groovy scripts [2] when building with Ant,
> and this approach is preferred.
>
> I welcome insights from others to further advance this work.
