Functional Tests of Groovy

These are tests that do things like System.gc(), spin up many threads, access internal fields of class and/or take a long time to complete.

In order to run against master you’ll need a clone of the groovy git repo. You’ll need to install in maven local repo, this can be done running the following command in the groovy git repo directory:

./gradlew install

Tests that are associated with a particular JIRA issues can be found under the issues directory. For some tests it helps to adjust the available memory settings and/or set system properties, for example:

test {
    minHeapSize = '256m'
    maxHeapSize = '256m'
    systemProperty 'groovy.use.classvalue', 'true'
    jvmArgs '-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError'
}
