/ takes precedence over & but the appropriate parens were not provided.
By some bad luck the tests worked either way, so add a new test that only works the correct way to prevent a regression.
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.
Commit 7168e074 tried to use cwd() as PGDATA but this would disagree with the path configured in pgBackRest if PGDATA was symlinked.
If cwd() does not match the pgBackRest path then chdir() to the path and make sure the next cwd() matches the result from the first call.
If the compressed stream terminated early then the decompression process would get a flush request (NULL input buffer) since the filter was not marked as done. This could happen on a zero-length or truncated (i.e. invalid) compressed file.
Change the existing assertion to an error to catch this condition in production gracefully.
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.
Pq script errors are now printed in test output in case they are being masked by a later error.
Once a script error occurs, the same error will be thrown forever rather than throwing a new error on the next item in the script.
HRNPQ_MACRO_CLOSE() is not required in scripts unless harnessPqScriptStrictSet(true) is called. Most higher-level tests should not need to run in strict mode.
The command/check test seems to require strict mode but there's no apparent reason why it should. This would be a good thing to look into at some point.
Some log output (e.g. time) is hard to test because the values can change between tests.
Add expressions to replace substrings in the log with predictable values to simplify testing.
This is similar to the log replacement facility available for Perl expect log testing.
A recopy would occur if the size or checksum was invalid but on error the backup would terminate.
Instead, recopy the resumed file on any error. If the error is systemic (e.g. network failure) then it should show up again during the recopy.
For now this is only used in testing but there are places where it could be useful in the core code.
Even if that turns out not to be true, it doesn't seem worth implementing a new version in testing just to capture a few values that we already have.
This is to maintain compatibility with the older Perl code that returned the lowest sorted order item in a tie.
For other datatypes the C code returns the same value, often enough at least to not cause churn in the expect tests.
Adding a manifest to backup.info was migrated to C in 4e4d1f41 but deduplication of the references was missed leading to a reference for every file being added to backup.info.
Since the backup command is still using the Perl version of reconstruct this issue will not express unless 1) there is a backup missing from backup.info and 2) the expire command is run directly instead of running after backup as usual.
This unlikely combination of events means this is probably not a problem in the field.
The issue "fixed" in f01aa586 was caused by treating all strings as format strings while logging, which was fixed in 0c05df45.
Revert because there no longer seems a reason for the extra logic, and it was only partially applied, i.e. not to env vars, command-line options, or config options.
Using the same macros for formatted and unformatted logging had several disadvantages.
First, the compiler was unable to verify the format string against the parameters.
Second, legitimate % characters in messages were being interpreted as format characters with garbage output ensuing.
Add _FMT() variants and update all call sites to use the correct variant.
This character causes problems in C and in the shell if we try to output it in an error message.
Forbid it completely and spell it out in error messages to avoid strange effects.
There is likely a better way deal with the issue but this will do for now.
It is occasionally useful to get information about a file outside of the base storage path. storageLocal() can be used in some cases but when the storage is remote is doesn't seem worth creating a separate storage object for adhoc info requests.
storageInfo() is a read-only operation so this seems pretty safe. The noPathEnforce parameter will make auditing exceptions easy.
The ability to disable enforcement (i.e., the requested absolute path is within the storage path) globally will be removed after the Perl migration.
The feature will still be needed occasionally so allow it in an adhoc fashion.
A . in a link will always lead to an error since the destination will be inside PGDATA. However, it is accepted symlink syntax so it's better to resolve it and get the correct error message.
Also, we may have other uses for this function in the future.
Adding a dummy column which is always set by the P() macro allows a single macro to be used for parameters or no parameters without violating C's prohibition on the {} initializer.
-Wmissing-field-initializers remains disabled because it still gives wildly different results between versions of gcc.
It wasn't practical for the main process to be ignorant of the remote path, and in any case knowing the path makes debugging easier.
Pull the remote path when connecting and pass the result of local storagePath() to the remote when making calls.
Pushing output through a JSON blob is not practical if the output is extremely large, e.g. a backup manifest with 100K+ files.
Add read/write routines so that output can be returned in chunks but errors will still be detected.
Previously, options were being filtered based on what was currently valid. For chained commands (e.g. backup then expire) some options may be valid for the first command but not the second.
Filter based on the command definition rather than what is currently valid to avoid logging options that are not valid for subsequent commands. This reduces the number of options logged and will hopefully help avoid confusion and expect log churn.
