Fixed an issue where the master process was passing --repo-remote-path instead of --repo-path to the remote and causing the lock files to be created in the default repository directory (/var/lib/backup), generally ending in failure. This was only an issue when --repo-remote-path was defined on the command line rather than in pg_backrest.conf.
Perl Critic added and passes on gentle. A policy file has been created with some permanent exceptions and a list of policies to be fixed in approximately the order they should be fixed in.
Added checks for `--delta` and `--force` restore options to ensure that the destination is a valid $PGDATA directory. pgBackRest will check for the presence of `PG_VERSION` or `backup.manifest` (left over from an aborted restore). If neither is found then `--delta` and `--force` will be disabled but the restore will proceed unless there are files in the $PGDATA directory (or any tablespace directories) in which case the operation will be aborted.
When backing up and restoring tablespaces pgBackRest only operates on the subdirectory created for the version of PostgreSQL being run against. Since multiple versions can live in a tablespace (especially during a binary upgrade) this prevents too many files from being copied during a backup and other versions possibly being wiped out during a `--delta` restore. This only applies to PostgreSQL >= 9.0 -- before that only one PostgreSQL version could use a tablespace.
Fixed an issue where document generation failed because some OSs are not tolerant of having multiple installed versions of PostgreSQL. A separate VM is now created for each version. Also added a sleep after database starts during document generation to ensure the database is running before the next command runs.
Reported by John Harvey.
1) Tests for all operating systems can now be run with a single command.
2) Tests can be run in parallel with --process-max.
3) Container generation now integrated into test.pl
4) Some basic test documentation.
Keepalives are now used to make sure the remote for the main process does not timeout while the thread remotes do all the work. The error messages for timeouts was also improved to make debugging easier.
* Better messaging for expiration.
* Fixed already stopped message.
* retention-archive and retention-archive-type now use retention-full and 'full' when not specified.
* Fixed issue where backup-user was required (should default to backrest).
* ExecuteTest now supports retries.
* Fixed issue where log test was not comparing test logs.
* Fixed issue where test logs would not match for ssh connection errors
Unable to reproduce this anymore. It seems to have been fixed with the last round of config changes. Add regression tests to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Most tests are working now. What's not working:
1) --target-resume option fails because pause_on_recovery setting was removed. Need to implement to the new 9.5 option and make that work with older versions in a consistent way.
2) No tests for the new .partial WAL segments that can be generated on timeline switch.
* Major refactoring of the protocol layer to support this work.
* Fixed protocol issue that was preventing ssh errors (especially connect) from being logged.
