First attempt at clean build: "Tests in error"?

[Joachim Hofer]

Hello all,

I just forked & cloned the scala-ide project and attempted to do a clean build (./build-all clean install) as per the instructions. Unfortunately, the build fails with

Tests in error:
  findReferencesInConstructorSuperCall(scala.tools.eclipse.findreferences.FindReferencesTests): Don't know how to convert element `layout` of type `class org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.ResolvedBinaryMethod`
  findReferencesInClassFields(scala.tools.eclipse.findreferences.FindReferencesTests): Don't know how to convert element `layout` of type `class org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.ResolvedBinaryMethod`

Tests run: 286, Failures: 0, Errors: 2, Skipped: 30

Can someone please point me to what might have gone wrong here? - Do I have to configure something that I don't know about?

I'm on Ubuntu Linux, using Java 6 and Maven 3.0.4.

Does the build somehow use one of my local Eclipse installations? - Then it's probably the wrong one. - Or are these tests just failing atm (sorry, can't check Jenkins currently because the firewall doesn't like port 8496)?

Thanks,
Joachim

Those 2 tests are failing for me on Linux too. I meant to try to find out why, but I haven't had the time yet.

They run fine on the build server, and on most osX setups.

HTH,

Luc

For the time being, you can either build the IDE and skip tests (just pass -Dmaven.test.skip=true), 

or add a JUnit @Ignore for the tests that are failing.
