Etienne Chauchot commented on FLINK-17213:
------------------------------------------
Just a quick update. I tried several things: putting the locale in surefire
config in either command line or system properties and also tried to set it in
the unit test and no solution worked. Then I realized that the test I was
running calls the low level JVM internal
{code:java}
native boolean createFileExclusively(String path){code}
which makes no use of the java locale. So, to make flink tests nonsensitive to
the language, I need to set a system variable $LC_ALL to en_US.UTF-8. I'm
searching for a good place to set and unset such a variable during the build
and I submit the PR.

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tests
> Reporter: Etienne Chauchot
> Assignee: Etienne Chauchot
> Priority: Major
>
> Some tests (this one for ex BlobServerGetTest.testGetFailsIncomingForJobHa)
> expect exceptions and expect a certain message which is in English. For users
> whose system locale is not English, the tests fail. So surefire should
> configure the local to US so that these tests pass for every user no matter
> his system locale.
