[Oorexx-devel] Problems with ooRexx 4.0 and ooRexxUnit

[Michael L. <h05...@wu...>]

Hello everybody,
I have got some problems with the execution of tests when I use the new
version of ooRexx. For me it seems to be that there is a bug which leads to
an infinite loop. First of all I would like to give you an overview which
versions I used when I tried to run the tests:

Interpreter: REXX-ooRexx_4.0.0(MT) 6.03 15 Jun 2009
ooRexxUnit:  2.0.0_3.2.0        ooTest: 1.0.0_3.2.0

I installed it with the setup file ooRexx-4.0.0-4800.i386.exe. I am using
Windows XP SP3 32 bit on a VMWare virtual machine to assure that there are
no other applications which could cause the troubles. Furthermore I am using
the newest version of ooRexxUnit I could find on SourceForge which is
ooRexxUnit-4.0.0-snapshot03.zip.

The first issue is that when I run testOORexx.rex it starts to search for
the test containers but after some dots which are displayed on the screen
(it does not stop at the same time every time) there are no further upcoming
dots. If I supply some argument when I run it (i.e. one of the folders that
contain some sample test groups) the output is the same and I do not get any
results. It seems to be that it gets stuck because I can wait for hours and
nothing changes.

The second issue is that when I create a test group containing just one
single test in a folder with only this one file (the test is
assertEquals(1,1)). If there is not the same issue as described above and
the test runs then I can see the test statistic which is correct but right
under the statistic output one dot after another is printed. This also runs
for hours until I stop it with Ctrl+C. To get rid of the problem I also
tried to kill rxapi.exe but it does not matter whether I killed it or it is
running for a while.

I am sorry but I don't know how I could describe it better since I haven't
found any possibility to get some debug or log output from ooRexxUnit.

Thank you in advance for any hints which could solve the problem.

Best regards,
Michael Lex
