[osmosis-dev] some tests failed on Gentoo (may be because of wrong CLASSPATH)

[Dmytro Gorbunov]

Hi Brett,

Thanks for your answers.

The reason why I'm trying to run tests on Gentoo is that current osmosis
ebuild is terribly outdated and I want to provide new version of it.

The strange thing that it builds good and all database-related tests are
passed but only 2 filesystem-based tests were failed.

In the report v0_6.XmlChangeReaderWriterTest.txt there is an exception
NoSuchMethodError when we call newFile method, I'll try with different
JVM and/or discover what is the real problem.

Testcase: testSimple took 0.005 sec
Caused an ERROR
org.openstreetmap.osmosis.testutil.TestDataUtilities.newFile()Ljava/io/File;
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.openstreetmap.osmosis.testutil.TestDataUtilities.newFile()Ljava/io/File;

  at
org.openstreetmap.osmosis.xml.v0_6.XmlChangeReaderWriterTest.testSimple(XmlChangeReaderWriterTest.java:36)

Kind regards,
