Description
Fix for 5 flaky tests which were found in multiple classes. The tests are as follows:
Steps to reproduce
This was identified by running NonDex.
The flaky tests can be found when running the following command:
mvn edu.illinois:nondex-maven-plugin:2.1.7:nondex -Dtest={test}
Failure
Reason for failure
The flaky nature of the test case is due to the
HashCodeBuilder.reflectionHashCode()
function. The function internally uses getDeclaredFields() method which does not maintain the order in which the fields are fetched.Expected Behaviour
The hashCode() method should return same value for same objects irrespective of the fields order.
Actual Behaviour
The test is failing since it is returning different hashcode values
Solution
In order to fix this, we are now defining a fixed order in which the fields get appended in hashCode() method.
