Brian Fox commented on MNG-2744:
--------------------------------
I never said I wouldn't fix it, I was just commenting that we need to consider
testing when judging when something gets fixed. This functionality is been this
way since 2.0 and with only two votes, it's not exactly screaming to be fixed
now...however trivial it is.
This particular issue happens to be in maven artifact, which i know has already
been branched and is being rewritten. I can take your patch & unit test and
apply it to the trunk, but without an IT that lives outside the code, there is
no guarantee this won't come back in a month. The ITs are what we need to
ensure that the refactoring doesn't overlook existing behavior.
I'm hoping that your motivation now to get this in will get an IT test so I
don't have to make a subtask that says "add test for..." because we all know
that no one will ever come along and fix that issue. Besides, it's a lot easier
to test the IT when you have handy the code that just fixed it so you can test
that it fails appropriately.
So there, I tipped my hand, I'm going to apply this no matter what you do,
would you still make an IT for it? Pretty please?
