Hi,
Since there was no response to hneemann#866, I'm also opening this PR but can revise it if you want.
Also, this PR is related to hneemann#870, but fixed more flaky tests in
DataFieldConverterTest.java
By running the following command:
mvn install -DskipTests
,mvn edu.illinois:nondex-maven-plugin:1.1.2:nondex -Dtest=de.neemann.digital.core.memory.DataFieldConverterTest
Three tests
testMarshalObj
,testMarshalObj2
,testMarshalObj3
inde.neemann.digital.core.memory.DataFieldConverterTest
will fail sometimes.The reason is that method
xStream.toXML()
incom.thoughtworks.xstream.XStream
is not deterministic:Xstreamer.toXML(object)
method first serializes the object using HashMap and then convert the XML object to string in the order of keys in the HashMap. I fixed the flakiness by checking whether the actual output is in the expected list, which contains all the possible XML combination orders.
