Build have begin failing with this error:
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/rsync: Undefined symbol "locale_charset"
There does not appear to be a new version so hopefully this is a transient error. Disable for now to free the build pipeline.
The prior manifestFileUpdate() function was pretty difficult to use since all the parameters had to specified. Instead, pass a ManifestFile struct that has all members set as needed.
When new struct members are added the manifestFileUpdate() call sites will still need to be reviewed, but this should make the process of adding members a bit simpler.
This appears to have been an oversight in 34d6495. Storing the reference is not really correct since the file is not stored in a prior backup. It also uses more space.
There is no real harm in storing the reference, since it is always ignored on restore, but the code is simpler if the zero-length files can be dealt with during the manifest and don't need additional handling later on. This is also an important part of some upcoming optimizations.
It is possible to log the bundle info correctly but the information is useless with the backup reference, which does not appear until later. For now just omit the bundle info so we are not logging something incorrect.
This test exposes a small logging issue. The bundle information for the matched delta on PG_VERSION is not correct. This issue will be fixed in the next commit.
The information stored in the manifest *is* correct so this bug is essentially cosmetic.
The current call site, manifestFileUnpack(), does not know the total buffer size but the buffer has always been maintained in memory so there should be no corruption. However, there are upcoming use cases where the buffer will be read from IO, the buffer size will be known, and additional sanity checking on buffer overruns will be valuable.
Also rename params to align better with cvtUInt64ToVarInt128().
Direct link creation via Posix functions has been moved to the Posix driver.
This change allows adding SFTP softlink creation in the SFTP driver using the standard interface.
Ninja produces quite a bit of output so error messages are often truncated by the default error/log buffers. Use large buffers in the test harness to capture the error even when there is a lot of output.
Ninja has introduced a --quiet option, but it is currently too new to be in any of our test distributions.
When converting restoreFile() to support file bundling in 34d64957 there were some I/O objects that were only freed at the end of the function that should have been freed at the end of each loop. Wrap the loops in temp mem contexts to fix this.
Do the same to backupFile() since it would have a similar leak when resuming a backup. Since file bundles cannot be resumed the leak would not be as severe, but still seems worth doing to protect against future leaks.

While recursing and filtering, if the last entry in a directory was another directory containing entries then the parent list would get freed too early, causing a double free error or segfault.
Fix by ensuring that the completed list is at the top of the stack before freeing it. This will defer freeing parent lists until the contents of paths have been processed.
Coverity complained of a copy/paste error here, but the actual error was what it took to be the correct "copied from" code.
In any case, the prior code would have blown up as soon as a new error type was added. Fix by updating to the writable build storage.
Lifecycle policies can cause the archive.info file and its copy to be removed since they are only updated on a stanza-upgrade. Update the timestamps after a successful backup to prevent this.
This does not mean that lifecycle policies should be used as a replacement for expiration. However, in some cases there may be policies in place that are out of admin control. If the lifecycle expiration is less than pgbackrest expiration then corruption of the earliest backup will occur at the very least and there might be other corruption which would make the repo unrecoverable.
An error that gets raised all the way to the top TRY block might need to free a lot of resources and any of these callbacks could throw an error and mask the original error. In fact this is pretty likely since we are already in an error state. For example, the Db object will try to close the remote db connection, but if the protocol is in a bad state it will not be able to do so.
Solve this, for now, by not freeing memory or calling callbacks in the CATCH_FATAL() block. This gives us a better chance if being able to report the error without encountering another error first.
For the most part, we don't need to worry about freeing resources (file handles, TLS contexts, etc.) if the program is going to exit immediately. However, it is important to attempt to terminate all active protocol connections, which is done by protocolFree() in main() since the protocol objects live in the top context.
Another way to handle this would be to implement an error stack and that is probably something we will do in the future. But, in the case of a segfault the original error would still be lost. Yet another option would be to still do cleanup but defer it until after the CATCH_FATAL() block.
If a repo is not specified for the expire command then the lowest repo becomes the default. The repo-retention-full value for time was being retrieved from the default rather than a specific repo which led to an incorrect expiration being applied.
Get the value from the specific repo and add a test.
It would be better if the default repo could not be queried in this case but it is not clear how to do that since the repo option is valid for expire (unlike, e.g., archive-push).
Allow key/value annotations to be added with the backup command and added/modified/removed with the new annotate command.
Annotations can be viewed with the info command in text mode when --set is specified and are always included in JSON output.
There are performance benefits to increasing the upload chunk size as long as the tradeoff with additional memory consumption is acceptable.
Make the chunk size configurable for S3, GCS, and Azure, but don't attempt to do any validation of the chunk size beyond some sane limits. The defaults remain as is for each storage type to avoid any unintentional regressions.
These limits can cause errors in some environments, e.g. Docker in Docker on Mac M1.
Entirely remove limits from the build, s3, and azure hosts since memory usage on these hosts is out of our control and not useful for testing.
Also allow empty variables to be rendered as blank.
Catching individual fatal errors was only used in testing so the tests have been updated to use other errors instead. CATCH_FATAL() is now the only way to catch fatal errors.
This simplifies the logic a bit for upcoming changes to error handling and cleanup.
Also fix an issue where passing errorMessage() directly to THROW*() would attempt to copy the message buffer instead of preserving it, which is undefined behavior. Since there were no instances of this behavior before this commit, this was not a live bug.
All unit and performance tests are now built by the C harness.
Remove all unit/performance test build code from Perl.
Remove code from C harness that is no longer used. This code was included so the C harness could be run separately, but that is no longer needed with this full integration.
The C test harness is used for unit tests from the Perl harness where possible. Currently, unit tests can be run in the C harness when --no-coverage is specified and --profile is not specified.
C harness tests work on meson 0.45.
The C harness runs with valgrind by default. Valgrind can be disabled with --no-valgrind.
Also rebuild containers to add meson and update the documentation so that meson builds will work (even though we don't do them yet).
The standby timeline check was being performed using pg_control data loaded before the backup started. If the backup was started immediately after a promotion the standby might not have executed a checkpoint and written the new timeline to pg_control.
Instead perform the timeline check after the checkpoint is executed. This should ensure that the new timeline is in pg_control.
The prior warning made it sound as if some action was required on the part of the user.
The new message should make it clearer that this action will be performed by pgBackRest.
Build pgbackrest binary and auto-generated code automatically.
Remove --module option and allow modules to run by parameter. This is less verbose and multiple modules can be run at a time.
Allow filtering of modules. Multiple tests can be passed as parameters and if the module ends in / it will be used as a prefix filter. For example, common/ will run all the common modules.
If a test errors the remaining tests will still run but the test process will eventually exit with an error.
CI tests are included but unit tests remain on the development branch.
With these changes all unit tests run except those that specify the define (e.g. common/assert-off) or containerReq (e.g. protocol/protocol) keywords.
Building the C test harness has been simplified:
meson -Dwerror=true -Dfatal-errors=true -Dbuildtype=debug test/build/none pgbackrest
ninja -C test/build/none test/src/test-pgbackrest
To run all modules:
test/build/none/test/src/test-pgbackrest test
Just the common/error module:
test/build/none/test/src/test-pgbackrest test common/error
All info modules:
test/build/none/test/src/test-pgbackrest test info/
Add tzdata package so timezone tests in command/restore work correctly.
Mark default git path as safe. This is a security fix that is not applicable in this environment, but must be set.
Also remove package cleanup, which is inconvenient when new packages need to be installed. It makes sense for containers that will be downloaded from Dockerhub but not so much for a locally-maintained container.
This was clearly an attempt to set the mode when creating a directory, but it never worked and instead created a "750" directory in the current working directory.
Detected when running in an environment where the current working directory was read-only.
Add harness depends when present.
Include libyaml in all test builds.
Fix mode on paths before trying to remove and set test path with mode 770 to match the Perl test harness.
With these changes all unit tests run except those that specify the define (e.g. common/assert-off), binReq (e.g. command/archive-get), or containerReq (e.g. protocol/protocol) keywords.
Builds and code generation need to be done in advance. The following commands are required for setup:
meson setup -Dwerror=true -Dfatal-errors=true -Dbuildtype=debug build pgbackrest
ninja -C build test/src/test-pgbackrest
build/src/build-code help pgbackrest
build/src/build-code postgres pgbackrest
Now tests can be run, e.g.:
build/test/src/test-pgbackrest --module=postgres/interface
Creating new binaries was convenient at first but has now become a maintenance issue.
Solve this by combining that into a single binary that takes an additional parameter to indicate which code should be built.
Also clean up path handling to make it easier to build code from the command line.
This makes the test code a bit simpler where we are listing a path but not following links.
Links in the repository can be used for testing but should never be committed to the main branch.
