WALA itself does not use any JUnit 4.12 features. However, I am
working on a WALA-based project that does require JUnit 4.12. Mixing
jar versions is a path to madness. So if the WALA maintainers don't
mind, it would make my life easier if WALA itself required JUnit 4.12.
Otherwise, I need to maintain that 4.11/4.12 difference indefinitely
as a divergence between official WALA and my WALA variant.
I suppose an alternative could be to let the JUnit version be
specified externally somehow. I have not explored this option in
depth, but could look into it if simply moving to JUnit 4.12 is
undesirable.
This should give us a set of mutually-consistent jars rather than
picking up random, outdated pieces from Maven Central or wherever else
I could find them. We now also have a single, central place where we
set the Eclipse version that we're building against. Much, *much*
cleaner.
<https://github.com/liblit/WALA/issues/5> notes that several
subprojects' tests are currently broken under Gradle. I'd still like
to be able to run non-broken tests, though. So here I'm disabling the
failing tests. The intent is to treat these exclusions as a to-do
list. We can remove exclusions as we get the corresponding tests
working. No more exclusions means
<https://github.com/liblit/WALA/issues/5> is fixed.
I was confused about the differences among:
srcDir 'foo'
srcDirs ['foo']
srcDirs = ['foo']
As it turns out, the first two append to the set of source
directories, while the last replaces this set entirely. I generally
want replacement, since WALA's current directory layout never matches
Gradle's assumed defaults.
The main requirement here is to arrange for the proper classpath
settings when tests are running so that they can find any associated
resources (i.e., other supporting files).
