[Geoserver-devel] http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver slow/unreachable, online tests not working

Hi,
as you may know GeoServer has a small set of online tests
checking wfs and wms cascading that need a remote WMS/WFS
server to be up and running with the GeoServer demo data sets.

So far http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver has been playing that role,
however lately it has been unreachable/very slow and
thoses tests actually fail or get skipped.

Not very many people notice that because one has to explictly enable
online tests (not sure if any of the build do), I actually noticed
only yesterday while working on GetFeatureInfo property selection
while I was adding tests for property selection on top of cascaded
GetFeatureInfo (which is an online test).
In the end to build the test I had to start a local geoserver and run
the tests against it.

So I was wondering what to do about it. I likely could stand-up a vanilla
GeoServer somewhere on demo.geo-solutions.it that takes the
place of demo.opengeo.org/geoserver and then update the tests?

Cheers
Andrea

Just kicked the server and it seems to be normally responsive again.

We have a watchdog running on that server but it seemed to only be checking the wms capabilities request, which i guess was still responsive… looks like adding some additional checks is in order.

What tests in particular use the server? I can add checks explicitly for those layers to ensure they remain responsive.
