| This annotation marks test classes or methods which have failed for reasons relating to certain JIRA issues. Ideally these issues
would be about bugs in production code or database tasks, but they could be about test code too.
One purpose of this annotation is to remove the related tests from the Anthill results while their issues are in progress. This
prevents them from obscuring new test failures that need attention, by allowing the Anthill results to be maintained at 100%
success.
Another purpose of this annotation is for KualiTestBase to wrap any test errors or failures with a notice that the annotated JIRA
issues are related. If the
system property is set, then the test will
pass (without running its contents) any test that
RelatesTo a JIRA issue that is currently open or in-progress or
reopened. This is an alternative to
org.kuali.test.suite.OpenOrInProgressOrReopenedSuite for Anthill to retain the same
format of its test report while not revealing any failures of such tests. When using this system property, keep in mind that it
takes well over a minute to get the list of open issues from JIRA. The list is cached statically, so it's insignificant to add a
minute or two to the time it takes for the whole Anthill build. But, developers will probably not want to add this system
property to their own environments, because of this delay and so that they can still work on those tests.
