Validation tests might generate working file and leave them in the build directory. Such files may not be packaged and distributed with the product,
This is higher priority, as I remember almost every release we are facing issues like that. But the key point I still do not understand is : Why do we use originally build built for testing purposes ? This should be solved by : ... - new build is created - copy of the build is created - run tests on copy of the build - if tests passed -> delete copy and use original in next steps ...
Petr, what is the status of this issue ?
I don't know what working files you mean and where they appears. If they are not part of installers, I would say we don't need to care about them.
No, automated tests are modifying content of netbeans folder ... so if you will zip the directory after the tests, it will be different to the original one. It's an old issue, so it might already be somehow solved, I do not know...
OK, understand. So the problem will be "only" with zip-ed netbeans. But I still don't know what files are generated. What should I check? I don't what to copy bits there and back again. It takes time and prolongs the build.
Ook, can you zip the folder before you will run the tests ?

This issue should be fixed in the trunk. Please, verify in the build 2012-06-18_15-50-36 in order I can port the fix to the release72.
The fix caused #214409 and the file testdist.zip was incomplete as well.

This is the stopper for NB 7.2, please evaluate and resolve ASAP.
I don't think this is a stopper. So far, I'm not able to find any additional files in build artifacts so it is hard to localize where they could be generated and where changes in the build are needed. My last attempt to blindly fix it has caused regressions so I don't think, this is a good approach. An additional file generated by validation test or by some other task will be very helpful. Meanwhile I'm still investigating.
Ok, so let move it out of the 7.2 timeframe and fix it as a part of build process redesign.
Petr, is this a P1 for 7.3? If not, we should add NO73.
