lang/errorStream.java fails intermittently on Windows 2003 server

• Key: DERBY-459

Description

Philips spotted this problem on a Windows 2003 server:

(mail quote):

I ran derbyall on a new machine and the lang/errorStream.java test
fails. I've run the same test successfully on 3 other machines and the
only discernable difference I am able to come up with is the operating
system (XP vs Windows 2003 Server on the failing machine). Also the
error in question seems to suggest that the problem is with an empty log
file, I've also attached a copy of that non empty log file. At this
point I'm open to suggestions.

This a race condition. When the test closes the current log (on
System.err in this case) by redirecting it to
System.out., it seems the underlying file isnt closed immediately.
When the file is subsequently checked, the check for non-empty
races ahead of the actual closing of the file (notice in Philip's log the
 file is indeed not empty, it is just the assert which fails).

An explicit close solved the problem on Philips machine. Posting the patch
as soon as i have run some more tests.

[Dag H. Wanvik]

Patch which fixes the problem; thanks to Philip for finding this and trying the patch.
It now works on Windows 2003. I also ran derbyall on Solaris 9, JDK 1.4.2 (no errors) and Windows XP
to check against regression. The latter has several errors, but run correctly for this test.

I don't think bugs should be marked as fixed until their patch is committed.

[Dag H. Wanvik]

Keep open until committed.

[Daniel John Debrunner]

Committed revision 219265.

[Philip Wilder]

Any thought of porting this patch to 10.1? I just ran derbyall on the 10.1 branch and this came up.

[Dag H. Wanvik]

Back-port patch to the 10.1 branch

[Dag H. Wanvik]

uploaded a svn merge-command which will port the patch for this issue.
(assumed current directory is 10.1). I have run derby-all with no errors.

[Dag H. Wanvik]

Ported to 10.1

[Dag H. Wanvik]

correcting the "Fixed in" to include both trunk and 10.1

[Dag H. Wanvik]

updated Fix Version to show bug has been fixed in both 10.1.2.0 and trunk
