Test suit doesn't pass about kafka-storm-starter

[miguno]

This may happen if the performance of your VM is not fast enough -- Storm by default has a test timeout of 5 secs (see the AssertionError above), and whenever a test exceeds this limit it considers the test to have failed.

This timeout is configurable though, so you may want to increase the value when running the tests in a VM. See STORM_TEST_TIMEOUT_MS at https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/master/DEVELOPER.md#build-the-code-and-run-the-tests.

Thanks, I set this to 20 seconds and it worked! I encountered another failure:

[info] Feature: AvroDecoderBolt[T]
[info]   Scenario: User creates a Storm topology that uses AvroDecoderBolt *** FAILED ***
[info]   SynchronizedQueue() was not equal to List({"username": "ANY_USER_1", "text": "ANY_TEXT_1", "timestamp": 1443029722}, {"username": "ANY_USER_2", "text": "ANY_TEXT_2", "timestamp": 0}, {"username": "ANY_USER_3", "text": "ANY_TEXT_3", "timestamp": 1234}) (KafkaStormSpec.scala:259)

[info]     Then the Kafka consumer app should receive the original tweets from the Storm topology

Hmm, I have seen this before I think (quite a while back). IIRC it was related to timing problems similar to the one you mentioned initially. Maybe STORM_TEST_TIMEOUT_MS alone is not sufficient. Is the error/test failure consistent across test runs? And can you try running the tests outside of a VM?

[daveroberts]

The failure was consistent across three runs. I will try running the tests outside of a VM at a later time.

This is in the scenario code and may help:

// Note: Should test messages arrive out-of-order, we may want to enforce a parallelism of 1 for this bolt.
builder.setBolt(decoderBoltId, decoderBolt).globalGrouping(kafkaSpoutId)

[daveroberts]

I am unable to test this. If someone else is having the issue, feel free to reopen.
