If the file is compressible (i.e. not encrypted or already compressed) it can be marked as such in storageNewRead()/storageNewWrite(). If the file is being read from/written to a remote it will be compressed in transit using gzip. Simplify filter group handling by having the IoRead/IoWrite objects create the filter group automatically. This removes the need for a lot of NULL checking and has a negligible effect on performance since a filter group needs to be created eventually unless the source file is missing. Allow filters to be created using a VariantList so filter parameters can be passed to the remote.
pgBackRest
Regression, Unit, & Integration Testing
Introduction
pgBackRest uses Docker to run tests and generate documentation. Docker's light-weight virualization provides the a good balance between proper OS emulation and performance (especially startup)
A Vagrantfile
is provided that contains the complete configuration required to run pgBackRest tests and build documentation. If Vagrant is not suitable then the Vagrantfile
still contains the configuration steps required to build a test system.
NOTE: this is not required for normal operation of pgBackRest.
Testing
The easiest way to start testing pgBackRest is with the included Vagrantfile
.
Build Vagrant and Logon:
cd test
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
The vagrant up
command may take some time as a number of Docker containers must also be built. The vagrant ssh
command automatically logs onto the VM.
Run All Tests:
/backrest/test/test.pl
Run Tests for a Specific OS:
/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6
Run Tests for a Specific OS and Module:
/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6 --module=backup
Run Tests for a Specific OS, Module, and Test:
/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6 --module=backup --test=full
Run Tests for a Specific OS, Module, Test, and Run:
/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6 --module=backup --test=full --run=1
Run Tests for a Specific OS, Module, Test, and Process Max:
/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6 --module=backup --test=full --process-max=4
NOTE: process-max is only applicable to the
synthetic
andfull
tests in thebackup
module.
Run Tests for a Specific OS, Module, Test, Process Max, and Database Version:
/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6 --module=backup --test=full --process-max=4 --pg-version=9.4
NOTE: pg-version is only applicable to the
full
test in thebackup
module.
Iterate All Possible Test Combinations:
