Test certificates were generated dynamically but there are advantages to using static certificates. For example, it possible to use the same certificate between container versions. Mostly, it is easier to document the certificates if they are not buried deep in the container code.
The new test certificates are initially intended to be used with the C unit tests but they will eventually be used for integration tests as well.
Two new certificates have been defined. See test/certificate/README.md for details.
The old dynamic certificates will be retained until they are replaced.
The standard npm packages on Ubuntu 18.04 suddenly required libssl1.0 which broke the pgbackrest package builds. Installing nodejs from deb.nodesource.com seems to work fine with standard libssl.
This package is required by ScalityS3 which is used for local S3 testing.
C or Perl coverage tests can now be run on any VM provided a recent enough version of Devel::Cover or lcov is available.
For now, leave u18 as the only VM to run coverage tests due to some issues with older versions of lcov.
Switch from Devel::Cover because it would not report on branch coverage for reports converted from gcov.
Branch coverage is not complete, so for the time being errors will only be generated when statement coverage is not complete. Coverage of unit tests is not displayed in the report unless they are incomplete for either statement or branch coverage.
Running coverage testing on multiple distros takes time but doesn't add significant value. Also ensure that the distro designated to run coverage tests is one of the default test distros.
* More optimized container suite that greatly improves build time.
* Added static Debian packages for Devel::Cover to reduce build time.
* Add deprecated state for containers. Deprecated containers may only be used to build packages.
* Remove Debian 8 from CI because it does not provide additional coverage over Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04.
Refactor storage layer to allow for new repository filesystems using drivers. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang.)
Refactor IO layer to allow for new compression formats, checksum types, and other capabilities using filters. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Full coverage is verified when specified.
* Modules marked with partial coverage will error if they are actually fully covered.
* Simplified test representation is DefineTest.
* Added new representation for queries in DefineTest and added API functions.
* Update modules using DefineTest to use new API.
* Automated builds of Debian packages for all supported distributions.
* Added --dev option to aggregate commonly used dev options.
* Added --no-package option to skip package builds.
* C library and packages are built by default, added -smart option to rebuild only when file changes are detected.
* The --libc-only option has been changed to --build-only now that packages builds have been added.
* Allow logging to be suppressed via logDisable() and logEnable().
* Added more flexibility in initializing and cleaning up after modules and tests.
* testResult() suppresses logging and reports exceptions.
* testException() allows messages to be matched with regular expressions.
* Refactor name/locations of common modules that setup test environments.
This option allows pgBackRest to validate page checksums in data files when checksums are enabled on PostgreSQL >= 9.3. Note that this functionality requires a C library which may not initially be available in OS packages. The option will automatically be enabled when the library is present and checksums are enabled on the cluster.
