Auto-selection is performed only when --set is not specified. If a backup set for the given target time cannot not be found, the latest (default) backup set will be used.
Currently a limited number of date formats are recognized and timezone names are not allowed, only timezone offsets.
Set log-level-file=off when more that one test will run. In this case is it impossible to see the logs anyway since they will be automatically cleaned up after the test. This improves performance pretty dramatically since trace-level logging is expensive. If a singe integration test is run then log-level-file is trace by default but can be changed with the --log-level-test-file option.
Reduce buffer-size to 64k to save memory during testing and allow more processes to run in parallel.
Update log replacement rules so that these options can change without affecting expect logs.
82df7e6f and 9856fef5 updated tests that used test points in preparation for the feature not being available in the C code.
Since tests points are no longer used remove the infrastructure.
Also remove one stray --test option in mock/all that was essentially a noop but no longer works now that the option has been removed.
We had some problems with newer versions so had held off on updating. Those problems appear to have been resolved.
In addition, the --compat flag is no longer required. Prior versions of MinIO required all parts of a multi-part upload (except the last) to be of equal size. The --compat flag was introduced to restore the default S3 behavior. Now --compat is only required when ETag is being used for MD5 verification, which we don't do.
This user was created before we tested in containers to ensure isolation between the pg and repo hosts which were then just directories. The downside is that this resulted in a lot of sudos to set the pgbackrest user and to remove files which did not belong to the main test user.
Containers provide isolation without needing separate users so we can now safely remove the pgbackrest user. This allows us to remove most sudos, except where they are explicitly needed in tests.
While we're at it, remove the code that installed the Perl C library (which also required sudo) and simply add the build path to @INC instead.
This tool was only being used it a few places but was a pretty large dependency.
Rework the forceStorageMove() code using our storage layer and replace one aws cli cp with a storage put.
Also, remove the Dockerfile that was once used to build the Scality S3 test container.
Recovery settings are now written into postgresql.auto.conf instead of recovery.conf. Existing recovery_target* settings will be commented out to help avoid conflicts.
A comment is added before recovery settings to identify them as written by pgBackRest since it is unclear how, in general, old settings will be removed.
recovery.signal and standby.signal are automatically created based on the recovery settings.
"null" is not allowed in the manifest format (null values should be missing instead) but Perl was treating the invalid values written by this test as if they were missing.
Update the test code to remove the values rather than setting them to "null".
No new Perl code is being developed, so these tools are just taking up time and making migrations to newer platforms harder. There are only a few Perl tests remaining with full coverage so the coverage tool does not warn of loss of coverage in most cases.
Remove both tools and associated libraries.
ScalityS3 has not received any maintenance in years and is slow to start which is bad for testing. Replace it with minio which starts quickly and ships as a single executable or a tiny container.
Minio has stricter limits on allowable characters but should still provide enough coverage to show that our encoding is working correctly.
This commit also includes the upgrade to openssl 1.1.1 in the Ubuntu 18.04 container.
Maintaining the storage layer/drivers in two languages is burdensome. Since the integration tests require the Perl storage layer/drivers we'll need them even after the core code is migrated to C. Create an interface layer so the Perl code can be removed and new storage drivers/features introduced without adding Perl equivalents.
The goal is to move the integration tests to C so this interface will eventually be removed. That being the case, the interface was designed for maximum compatibility to ease the transition. The result looks a bit hacky but we'll improve it as needed until it can be retired.
The prior method of tailing the docker log no longer seems reliable. Instead, keep retrying the make bucket command until it works and show the error if it times out.
The C code is designed to be efficient rather than deterministic at the debug log level. As we move more testing from integration to unit tests it makes less sense to try and maintain the expect logs at this log level.
Most of the expect logs have already been moved to detail level but mock/all still had tests at debug level. Change the logging defaults in the config file and remove as many references to log-level-console as possible.
The new name is preferred because pgBackRest does not support any SSL protocol versions (they are all considered to be insecure).
The old name will continue to be accepted.
This new implementation should behave exactly like the old Perl code with the exception of updated log messages.
Remove as much of the Perl code as possible without breaking other commands.
Add the buffer-size, compress-level, compress-level-network, and process-max options to the backup:option section in backup.manifest to aid in debugging.
It may also make sense to propagate these options up to backup.info so they can be displayed in the info command, but for now this is deemed sufficient.

This calculation was missed when the WAL segment size was made dynamic in preparation for PostgreSQL 11.
Fix the calculation by checking the actual WAL file sizes instead of using an estimate based on WAL segment size. This is more accurate because it takes into account .history and .backup files, which are smaller. Since the calculation is done in the async process the additional processing time should not adversely affect performance.
Remove the PG_WAL_SIZE constant and instead use local constants where the old value is still required. This is only the case for some tests and PostgreSQL 8.3 which does not provide a way to get the WAL segment size from pg_control.
If an error occurred while acquiring a lock on a remote server the error would be reported correctly, but the queue max detection code was not reached. The tests failed to detect this because they fixed the connection before queue max, allowing the ccde to be reached.
Move the queue max code before the lock so it will run even when remote connections are not working. This means that no attempt will be made to transfer WAL once queue max has been exceeded, but it makes it much more likely that the code will be reach without error.
Update tests to continue errors up to the point where queue max is exceeded.
Reported by Lardière Sébastien.
PostgreSQL 11 introduces configurable WAL segment sizes, from 1MB to 1GB.
There are two areas that needed to be updated to support this: building the archive-get queue and checking that WAL has been archived after a backup. Both operations require the WAL segment size to properly build a list.
Checking the archive after a backup is still implemented in Perl and has an active database connection, so just get the WAL segment size from the database.
The archive-get command does not have a connection to the database, so get the WAL segment size from pg_control instead. This requires a deeper inspection of pg_control than has been done in the past, so it seemed best to copy the relevant data structures from each version of PostgreSQL and build a generic interface layer to address them. While this approach is a bit verbose, it has the advantage of being relatively simple, and can easily be updated for new versions of PostgreSQL.
Since the integration tests generate pg_control files for testing, teach Perl how to generate files with the correct offsets for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
Use checksums rather than timestamps to determine if files have changed. This is useful in cases where the timestamps may not be trustworthy, e.g. when performing an incremental after failing over to a standby.
If checksum delta is enabled then checksums will be used for verification of resumed backups, even if they are full. Resumes have always used checksums to verify the files in the repository, enabling delta performs checksums on the database files as well.
Note that the user must manually enable this feature in cases were it would be useful or just keep in enabled all the time. A future commit will address automatically enabling the feature in cases where it seems likely to be useful.

% characters caused issues in backup/restore due to filenames being appended directly into a format string.
Reserved XML characters (<>&') caused issues in the S3 driver due to improper escaping.
Add a file with all common special characters to regression testing.
Mainly this helps with unit tests that need to do log expect testing. Add harnessCfgLoad() test function, which allows a new config to be loaded for unit testing without resetting log functions, opening a log file, or taking locks.
Now only two types of locks can be taken: archive and backup. Most commands use one or the other but the stanza-* commands acquire both locks. This provides better protection than the old command-based locking scheme.
Move command begin to C except when it must be called after another command in Perl (e.g. expire after backup). Command begin logs correctly for complex data types like hash and list. Specify which commands will log to file immediately and set the default log level for log messages that are common to all commands. File logging is initiated from C.
Required to test restores on the backup server, a fairly common scenario.
Improve the restore function to accept optional parameters rather than a long list of parameters. In passing, clean up extraneous use of strType and strComment variables.
