Purpose
The tests in
FieldNamingTest
are detected flaky because thegson.toJson()
gives a non-deterministic output.Related issue: #2520
Description
There is a need to modify the code such that the tests to do not expect the string to contain values in a particular order. After modifying the tests to check if the
gson.toJson()
output contains all expected substrings, the tests pass, instead of checking against the entire hardcoded string.Reason:
The
gson.toJson()
internally callscom.google.gson.internal.bind.ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory.getBoundFields
which makes a call togetDeclaredFields
gson/gson/src/main/java/com/google/gson/internal/bind/ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory.java
Line 265 in e685705
And according to this stackoverlow discussion,
getDeclaredFields
in Java 8 does not return elements in a consistent order.Reproduction of error
The test runs fail on 4/5 runs of the NonDex tool
Command to reproduce the failure:
mvn -pl gson edu.illinois:nondex-maven-plugin:2.1.1:nondex -Dtest=com.google.gson.functional.FieldNamingTest#<testname>
Example - test case testLowerCaseWithUnderscores
