Hi devs,
Well, the subject pretty much sums it up. I am proposing to skip any
testing while building a release, since that is the job of the CI
infrastructure and, it happened more than once for the build of the release
to fail because of a flickering test. This is really annoying for a release
manager that has to start over the entire build (since right now it's a
real pain to alter the scripts to continue the build).
Besides this, tests (specially the functional ones added into platform)
uselessly delay the build, thus, the release.
Note: We are already skipping tests for enterprise and manager. This vote
is actually about skipping tests for commons, rendering and platform as
well.
Here's my +1.
+1. Initially, only unit tests were present in the CRP projects
(Commons, Rendering and Platform), so the release script needed to skip
tests (integration) just for XE and XEM. And the original reason for
skipping these tests was also the fact that tests were flickering.
