tests not working offline #1475
Description
Actual behavior
Our tests were broken by offline checks made recently.
ERROR:You are offline and cannot download from URL http://localhost:59224/mockedPlugin
And later
[ERROR] com.devonfw.tools.ide.tool.androidstudio.AndroidStudioTest.testAndroidStudioRun(String, WireMockRuntimeInfo)[2] -- Time elapsed: 0.245 s <<< FAILURE!
java.lang.AssertionError:
The first entry that was not matching from a block of 2 expected log-entries was:
SUCCESS:Successfully ended step 'Install plugin MockedPlugin'.
Reproduce
- get offline
- mvn test
Expected behavior
We are using wiremock to make our tests independent of external resources (Internet).
So the current behaviour does not make sense IMHO.
I was always trying to tell that we should first do network access and if that fails do the online check to improve how the exception we received can be enhanced for the end-user. But making an online check before network access is not smart because it causes extra network overhead and delay plus it leads to this pointless error.
To be clear and precise: When the user provides the offline flag --offline this is different. For consistency it makes sense that then all downloads and network access gets rejected.
