1.535 good news for those developing on Windows machines

[Mike Caspar]

Hi there,

As some of you know, there's a problem running the tests on some Windows machines (Windows 7)  (intelliJ) (not sure about platforms).

There is tons of documentation out there on this (not only a Jenkins problems).. related somehow to a java issue with System.gc and possibly with static objects that might be running such as LOG during a gc on Windows.

I wanted to let everyone know that 1.535 is now running unit tests locally, which is awesome news!  

I have been having to commit to run tests.

My guess is it has something to do with one of these two changes....

• "java -jar jenkins.war" now runs on Jetty8. Command line options are still compatible. (issue 18366)
• "java -jar jenkins.war" gets the "--spdy" option to enable SPDY.

Anyways, I wanted to share the good news.

Unfortunately, I have discovered a different problem in the real build ....  an example   ... 

https://jenkins.ci.cloudbees.com/job/plugins/job/ironmq-notifier-plugin/org.jenkins-ci.plugins$ironmq-notifier/30/testReport/org.jvnet.hudson.test/JellyTestSuiteBuilder$JellyCheck/org_jenkinsci_plugins_ironmqnotifier_IronMQNotifier_config_jelly/

I'll open a Jira issue.. (I think it might be safer to let tests pass for real than risk it breaking here.

Passed

org.jvnet.hudson.test.JellyTestSuiteBuilder$JellyCheck.org/jenkinsci/plugins/ironmqnotifier/IronMQNotifier/config.jelly (from InjectedTest)

Took 1.4 sec.
