             Summary: LuceneTestCase static leak checker interferes with Groovy 
unit tests
                 Key: LUCENE-5787
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5787
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Maven 3.0.5
JUnit 4.11
            Reporter: John Gibson


{{LuceneTestCase}}'s static memory leak checker can break Groovy subclasses. 
Specifically, Groovy classes have a synthetic static member variable of type 
{{org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.ClassInfo}}. If this variable grows too large 
then LTC will fail the test. Because the variable is added by the Groovy 
runtime instead of by the developer there is no way for the developer to clear 
the field themselves.

Also note that the static leak checker does not ignore memory held by soft or 
weak references. These should be ignored because the memory retained by such 
fields will be reclaimed instead of triggering OutOfMemoryErrors.

Note that because LTC is a base class for Solr's testing support classes this 
also affects {{SolrTestCaseJ4}} and {{AbstractSolrTestCase}}.
