[vector] tests with data providers

[Halimi, Jean-Philippe]

Thanks. I've used jtreg and I agree it's simple to use. As we discussed that we would keep both ways of running for now, the fix should do.

Ok.

Ah! sorry about that, it's because i am using jtreg for test execution, which compiles tests and their dependencies before execution.

I strongly recommend you try out jtreg :-)

Note that long term we cannot provide support in the repository for alternative test execution, jtreg is the way to go, but for now its fine.

Paul.
