This was initially reported as a bug against jtreg -- but jtreg is being given false info from jtharness. Specifically, TestResultTable.validatePath is returning true when it should not.

Here is the set of files in question
$ find jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/ -type f
jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest1.java
jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest1.html
jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest2.html
jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest3.html
jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/ComplexTransformTest.java
jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest2.java
jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/TextTransformTest.java
jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest3.java

None of the .html files are valid test files. The corresponding .java files are valid test files.

If I query if jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest3.html is a valid path, I get a result of true, and if I set that as a test path, it is (incorrectly) treated as equivalent to jdk/test/closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest3.java.

Anecdotal evidence from Peter suggests that this is strongly related to the fact that the file in question (RotateTest3.html) begins with the parent directory name (Rotate).


I've run with TestResultTable debugging switched on to 99, and get the following:
TRT looking for closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest3.jtr IN null
    -> Looking for branch name: closed
TRT looking for java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest3.jtr IN closed
    -> Looking for branch name: java
TRT looking for awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest3.jtr IN java

TRT looking for RotateTest3.jtr IN Rotate
    -> Looking for TR in this node.
    -> TRT.findTest() located com.sun.javatest.TestResult@1b64c45

TM.getTests validate cmdln path; closed/java/awt/font/Rotate/RotateTest3.html true


For the record, I'll attach the full dump I have on my console.
