Description
2 flaky tests are found using Nondex when running commands
mvn edu.illinois:nondex-maven-plugin:1.1.2:nondex Dtest=DynamoDBEncryptorTest#ensureEncryptedAttributesUnmodifiedand
mvn edu.illinois:nondex-maven-plugin:1.1.2:nondex -Dtest=AttributeValueMarshallerTest#testSimpleMapWithNullThe reason for test flakiness is that Java map API does not preserve the order of the key-value pairs. Comparing maps by casting to string can fail when, for example, the Java version upgrades in the future, or when the code is run in different environment.
Flaky Tests and Fixes
Test:
ensureEncryptedAttributesUnmodifiedinDynamoDBEncryptor.java.Reason & Fix: The test tries to compare two maps after casting them to strings. However, item orders in maps are not preserved. I converted the referenced maps to TreeMaps before casting them to string.
Test:
testSimpleMapWithNullinAttributeValueMarshallerTest.javaReason & Fix: Part of the expected string is a representation of a map. Similarly, order is not preserved in maps, hence I considered the 2 possible permutation patterns of the string representation of the map.
