Question about UnicodeData.txt data file

Question about UnicodeData.txt data file

[Patrick Ellis]

Hi,

I have a question about the UnicodeData.txt data file used in testing for package lang.
I have compiled and tested on Sun Solaris machine for the java.lang package and have taken 
the *.class files and the UnicodeData.txt placed them in a jar file and moved this over to a Linux machine
for testing. If I use the jar command the UnicodeData.txt file is not found:

gnu.testlet.java.lang.Character.unicode
----
gnu.testlet.ResourceNotFoundException: /users/paelli/mauve/gnu/testlet/java/lang/Character/UnicodeData.txt (No such file or directory)
        at gnu.testlet.SimpleTestHarness.getResourceStream(SimpleTestHarness.java:128)
        at gnu.testlet.SimpleTestHarness.getResourceReader(SimpleTestHarness.java:108)
        at gnu.testlet.java.lang.Character.unicode.<init>(unicode.java:55)
        at gnu.testlet.java.lang.Character.unicode.test(unicode.java:688)
        at gnu.testlet.SimpleTestHarness.runtest(SimpleTestHarness.java:217)
        at gnu.testlet.SimpleTestHarness.main(SimpleTestHarness.java:327)
FAIL: gnu.testlet.java.lang.Character.unicode (number 1)

I noticed that in the config.java code the default directory is set and this seems to hardcode this
path and this does not work well with my plan to compile the code on one machine and move the *.class files
to the other platforms to test (PC,LINUX, HP, etc). Is there a way around the hard coding of the search for the
UnicodeData text file?

Ordinarily in Mauve external files are referred to by a special
syntax.  The idea is that a given test host can interpret this syntax
any way it likes.  We did this, instead of using plain file names,
since we wanted to be able to run Mauve on platforms without a
filesystem (e.g., a simulator).

So, yes, this is possible.  But it is up to you to set up the test
environment properly.  For instance you could make your own test
harness.  Or you could make your own config.java for the target
system.

Not at present.  It is set like so:

SRCDIR=`(cd $srcdir; pwd)`
AC_SUBST(SRCDIR)

Tom,

Is there anyway in the configure file to set the relative path to <.>
instead of the absolute path?

I know in the config.java file srcdir can be changed but is there
a way to set this during configuration?

Out of the box, Mauve does what it does.  You can always write your
own test harness; we did that for libgcj testing.  You could subclass
SimpleTestHarness and rewrite getResourceStream or getSourceDirectory
to do whatever you like.  Or you can rewrite config.java and recompile
it on each platform.  If you come up with a generically useful patch,
send it to the list.
