Re: Ubuntu Places menu: weird behavior of “Home” place

How simple... it just didn't happen to my mind that I might have done something like this (I suspect my kids anyway :) )
Thanks for sharing!

Re: Ubuntu Places menu: weird behavior of “Home” place

I was having the same annoying problem just now. but here's what caused it and how to fix it. simple really
what I did and I bet you did too was try to open a folder with "Open With Other Application..." and the box Remember this application for "folder" files was checked.
now every time you want to open a folder normally the computer tries to use the newly associated program rather than nautilus.

THE FIX: open nautilus, right click on a folder, Open With Other...., find "Open Folder" and select that and make sure that Remember this is checked.

Hope this helps someone.

My "Places" menu when clicked on desktop or others, takes me to "movie player.' Why is this? I had just edited some home video and then this error now occurs.

@Scott Carey
yes but that is not good for running the tests from your IDE then - unless it calls Maven for junit testing which is not usual.
But you are right, this makes the whole thing a bit simpler on modules where you don't care about IDEs.

Scott Carey — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 18:18:05 -0000

Just pass ${project.build.directory} in as a property to your tests via surefire systemPropertyValues, avoiding the classloader stuff.

http://maven.apache.org/plugin...

Then you don't need to pass in a class, and your test helper method can be simpler.

Thanks for this post. I was trying to figure out why it would not browse into zipped files. This took care of it.

Re: Generating temporary files in junit tests

Petr Kozelka — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 05:57:31 -0000

That's correct - this is definitely simpler solution.

However, what I like on the suggested one is, that temporary files used by the module are "inside" it, which has some advantages, like:
- next "mvn clean install" command removes them so you don't have to take care of it
- they are naturally bound to the right module and its last build; in your case, you either need to hardcode the name which may cause problems (at least it should be deleted before using), or generate a random dir - then you must go to log and see which one was used

So, the technique you suggest is valid, but I prefer using it only on "manually" started tests, not for tests that are executed inside a continuous integration system

Christopher Hunt — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 21:05:54 -0000

I find just using the temporary folder path system variable suffices e.g.:

String filename = "some.dat";
String filepath = System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir");
String fullFilePath = filepath + filename;

I generally then create a file and use a try/finally block to remove the file when the test is done.

Hi,

Thanks for this very useful tip. I used it with success, for the jupload project, available on sourceforge.

A note:
I changed the line 'final String clsPath = url.getPath();' to:
final String clsPath = url.getPath().replaceAll("%20", " ");

This allows working with pathes containing spaces.

This was driving me crazy - after making the change the problem disappeared. Thanks a million!

Petr Kozelka — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:27:49 -0000

thanks for the tip, it seems to cover some important cases - when I want the files to disappear after the test I would prefer a standard solution like this one

take a look at TemporaryFolder in JUnit (since 4.7), e.g. http://weblogs.java.net/blog/j...

I am not aware if TestNG also offers such feature
