Weird inconsistent SkipException behaviour

[Robert Krüger]

Hi,

I've been using SkipException for a long time to disable tests programmatically (e.g. depending on platform or other environment conditions) but now I have run into a few cases where the SkipException makes the test fail instead of be skipped and I do not see the difference.

Example:

    @Test

    public void testOSVersionAtLeast() {

        //FIXME: FND-317

        if (SystemInfo.isLinux())

            throw new SkipException("Skipping on linux until FND-317 is resolved");

        if(SystemInfo.isWindows()){

            // FIXME win

            throw new SkipException("Skipping on windows until TODO is resolved");

        }

...

this works while in another class

    @Test

    public void moveItemCaseChangeOnlyTest() throws Exception {

        // FIXME WIN fails because of ...

        if(SystemInfo.isWindows()){

            throw new SkipException("Disabled due to error");

        }

...

causes a failure.

In both cases code tests are executed using Idea's TestNG plugin on Windows.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

Robert
