FileMetadataIT.testJsonParserWithDirectoryLabels failing

[pdurbin]

FileMetadataIT.testJsonParserWithDirectoryLabels is failing for me locally as well as at https://jenkins.dataverse.org/job/IQSS-dataverse-develop/435/

This test still is failing (at leas intermittently) so I'm reopening up this issue.

(Oh, I didn't realize the April date above was 2020, not 2021 (i.e. a year ago). Still not much noise here, so I think it's ok to track here.

This is still failing via Jenkins in the Download All branch, though not for me locally in that branch.

Can using the first 8 chars of a UUID as the testName (line 44) cause issues? I.e. some char that isn't allowed in a dataverse name/alias?

[pdurbin]

@qqmyers yes, good call. It's probably the dv alias. If we switch to UtilIT.getRandomDvAlias() a "dv" will be prepended, making a valid dv alias (rather than all digits, occasionally).

At standup I mentioned that #8165 failed because of this test and that the fix should be trivial. I went ahead and made pull request #8168.

Gold star for @qqmyers for mentioning above that it's probably the "integers aren't allowed in dataverse aliases" problem we fixed previously in pull request #3898.
