hrnPgControlToBuffer() and hrnPgWalToBuffer() now generate the system id based on the version of Postgres. If a value less than 100 is specified for systemId then it will be added to the default system id so there can be multiple ids for a single version of PostgreSQL.
Add constants to represent version system ids in tests. These will eventually be auto-generated.
This changes some checksums and we no longer have big-endian tests systems, so X those checksums out so it is obvious they are no longer valid.
The vast majority of Strings are never modified so for most cases allocate memory for the string with the object. This results in one allocation in most cases instead of two. Use strNew() if strCat*() functions are needed.
Update varNewStr() in the same way since String Variants can never be modified. This results in one allocation in all cases instead of three. Also update varNewStrZ() to use STR() instead of strNewZ() to save two more allocations.
The local process will retry jobs (e.g. backup file) but after a certain number of failures gives up. Previously, the last error was reported but generally the first error is far more valuable. The last error is likely to be a cascade failure such as the protocol being out of sync.
Report the first error (and stack trace) and append the retry errors to the first error without stack trace information.
It seems better to use TEST_PATH in combination with a constant string rather than have a number of different path constants. This improves readability and reduces confusion about which constant should be used.
For tests already updated as part of the macro-replacement effort, the output tests (TEST_ERROR, TEST_RESULT_LOG, TEST_STORAGE_LIST and TEST_RESULT_STR) have been simplified for readability to remove all but the TEST_PATH constants. The ongoing macro-replacement effort will include these changes.
Updated: expireTest, stanzaTest, checkTest, infoTest, verifyTest (infoArchive and infoBackup had no changes).
HRN_CFG_LOAD() handles the majority of test configuration loads and has various options for special cases.
It was not clear when to use harnessCfgLoadRaw() vs harnessCfgLoad(). Now "raw" functionality is granular and enabled by parameters, e.g. noStd.
A define was already added for TEST_PATH but it was not widely used. Replace all occurrences of testPath() with TEST_PATH in the tests.
Replace testUser() with TEST_USER, testGroup() with TEST_GROUP, testRepoPath() with HRN_PATH_REPO, testDataPath() with HRN_PATH, testProjectExe() with TEST_PROJECT_EXE, and testScale() with TEST_SCALE.
Replace {[path]}, {[user]}, {[group]}, etc. with defines and remove hrnReplaceKey(). This is better than having two ways to deal with replacements.
In some cases the original test*() getters were kept because they are used by the harness, which does not have access to the new defines. Move them to harnessTest.intern.h to indicate that the tests should no longer use them.
Replace all instances of strNew("") with strNew() and use strNewZ() for non-empty zero-terminated strings. Besides saving a useless parameter, this will allow smarter memory allocation in a future commit by signaling intent, in general, to append or not.
In the tests use STRDEF() or VARSTRDEF() where more appropriate rather than blindly replacing with strNewZ(). Also replace strLstAdd() with strLstAddZ() where appropriate for the same reason.
Run the local process inside a forked child process instead of exec'ing it. This allows coverage to accumulate in the local process rather than needing to test the local protocol functions directly, resulting in better end-to-end testing and less test duplication. Another advantage is that the pgbackrest binary does not need to be built for the test.
The backup, restore, and verify command tests have been updated to use the new shim for coverage.
Some version interface test functions were integrated into the core code because they relied on the PostgreSQL versioned interface. Even though they were compiled out for production builds they cluttered the core code and made it harder to determine what was required by core.
Create a PostgreSQL version interface in a test harness to contain these functions. This does require some duplication but the cleaner core code seems a good tradeoff. It is possible for some of this code to be auto-generated but since it is only updated once per year the matter is not pressing.
Make protocol handlers have one function per command. This allows the logic of finding the handler to be in ProtocolServer, isolates each command to a function, and removes the need to test the "not found" condition for each handler.
When the FUNCTION_*_RESULT*() macros were renamed to FUNCTION_*_RETURN_*() in the core code the test harness macros were missed.
Update them to make the naming consistent.
Some commands (repo-*, verify) still required the --repo option but it makes sense to give them the same treatment as backup and simply use the first repo when one is not specified.
This leaves stanza-delete as the only remaining command that requires --repo. This is by design to enhance safe usage.
This is phase 2 of verify command development (phase 1 was processing the archives and phase 3 will be reconciling the archives and backups). In this phase the backups are verified by verifying each file listed in the manifest for the backup and creating a result set with the list of invalid files, if any. A summary is then rendered.
Unit tests have been added and duplicate tests have been removed.
Multi-repository implementations for the archive-push, check, info, stanza-create, stanza-upgrade, and stanza-delete commands.
Multi-repo configuration is disabled so there should be no behavioral changes between these commands and their current single-repo implementations.
Multi-repo documentation and integration tests are still in the multi-repo development branch. All unit tests work as multi-repo since they are able to bypass the configuration restrictions.
This avoids the need for strLstJoin() when testing lists.
Lists are \n delimited (rather than command or pipe) so that non-trivial lists can be more easily diff'd.
Scan the WAL archive for missing or invalid files and build up ranges of WAL that will be used to verify backup integrity. A number of errors and warnings are currently emitted but they should not be considered authoritative (yet).
The command is incomplete so is marked internal.
