LZ4 compresses data faster than gzip but at a lower ratio. This can be a good tradeoff in certain scenarios.
Note that setting compress-type=lz4 will make new backups and archive incompatible (unrestorable) with prior versions of pgBackRest.
The TZ environment variable was not reliably pushed down to the test processes.
Instead pass TZ via a command line parameter and set explicitly in the test process.
This makes configuring tests easier.
Also add a parameter for tests that require sudo. This should be retired at some point but some tests still require it.
A number of tests have been updated and Fedora 30 has been added to the test suite so the unit tests can run on gcc 9.
Stop running unit tests on co6/7 since we appear to have ample unit test coverage.
Now that our tests are more diversified it makes sense to load only the packages that are needed for each test.
Move the package loads from .travis.yaml to test/travis.pl where we have more control over what is loaded.
Three major changes were required to get this working:
1) Provide the path to pgbackrest in the build directory when running outside a container. Tests in a container will continue to install and run against /usr/bin/pgbackrest.
1) Set a per-test lock path so tests don't conflict on the default /tmp/pgbackrest path. Also set a per-test log-path while we are at it.
2) Use localhost instead of a custom host for TLS test connections. Tests in containers will continue to update /etc/hosts and use the custom host.
Add infrastructure and update harnessCfgLoad*() to get the correct exe and paths loaded for testing.
Since new tests are required to verify that running outside a container works, also rework the tests in Travis CI to provide coverage within a reasonable amount of time. Mainly, break up to doc tests by VM and run an abbreviated unit test suite on co6 and co7.
Broken vendor packages have been causing builds to break due to an error on apt-get update.
Ignore errors and proceed directory to apt-get install. It's possible that we'll try to reference an expired package version and get an error anyway, but that seems better than a guaranteed hard error.
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.
Use autoconf to provide a basic configure script. WITH_BACKTRACE is yet to be migrated to configure and the unit tests still use a custom Makefile.
Each C file must include "build.auto.conf" before all other includes and defines. This is enforced by test.pl for includes, but it won't detect incorrect define ordering.
Update packages to call configure and use standard flags to pass options.
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.
* 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.
