Static Content Dev_UnitTests Failure -- HTTP server did not start

Kyle Reich

For a couple weeks now, whenever I have been unable to use the Dev_UnitTests script (StaticContent/build/Dev_UnitTests.bat). As far as I know, I didn't change any network related settings but it hasn't cleared up either (multiple days/weeks, restarts, etc). The dump contains some information about 'Property "server.host.stopPort" has not been set'. I don't know if that's related or normal since I never paid much attention to the output until now.

This is a partial dump of the output:

-init-cleanup:

[echo] Deleting old test reports, if any exist...

This error is caused by the wrong version of Java for Jetty. The version of Jetty we are using requires Java 7. Any references to Java 6 on your system in the console that the Unit Tests run in will cause this failure. Uninstalling works but my suspicion is that there is a stray environment variable on your system that is the root of this issue.
