Hiccups with preparing package for testing

[jacklo225]

Hi, I'm trying to compile my package and do some testing on a HPC by following the instructions from Writing A Beast 2.7 Package under the "Preparing your package for release" section. However, the beast2 compilation fails due to 6 tests failed (I think). Is it necessary for the beast2 compilation to be successful before compiling my package? Also, it is necessary to compile the beastFX package as well? My package doesn't include anything Beauti related, although we do run from beastfx.app.beast.BeastMain.

Thank you, Jack

Thanks for pointing that out -- the default ant task for beast2 includes running junit tests, which can fail I believe due to randomization issues. These failures are harmless, and pass when run in a different environment. I suppose the solution to this is to change the default ant target in build.xml so tests are excluded.

There is no need to compile BeastFX, unless there are dependencies of your package to any of the BeastFX code.
