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.
pgBackRest
Building Documentation
General Builds
The pgBackRest documentation can output a variety of formats and target several platforms and PostgreSQL versions.
This will build all documentation with defaults:
./doc.pl
The user guide can be built for different platforms: centos6, centos7, and debian. This will build the HTML user guide for CentOS/RHEL 7:
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=centos7
Documentation generation will build a cache of all executed statements and use the cache to build the documentation quickly if no executed statements have changed. This makes proofing text-only edits very fast, but sometimes it is useful to do a full build without using the cache:
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=centos6 --no-cache
Each os-type has a default container image that will be used as a base for creating hosts. For centos6/centos7 these defaults are generally fine, but for debian it can be useful to change the image.
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=debian --var=os-image=debian:9
The following is a sample CentOS/RHEL 7 configuration that can be used for building the documentation.
# Install docker
sudo yum install -y yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
sudo yum install -y docker-ce
sudo systemctl start docker
# Install tools
sudo yum install -y git wget
# Install latex (for building PDF)
sudo yum install -y texlive texlive-titlesec texlive-sectsty texlive-framed texlive-epstopdf ghostscript
# Install Perl modules that do not have CentOS packages via CPAN
sudo yum install -y yum cpanminus
sudo yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
sudo cpanm install --force XML::Checker::Parser
# Add documentation test user
sudo groupadd test
sudo adduser -gtest -n testdoc
sudo usermod -aG docker testdoc
Building with Packages
A user-specified package can be used when building the documentation. Since the documentation exercises most pgBackRest functionality this is a great way to smoke-test packages.
The package must be located within the pgBackRest repo and the specified path should be relative to the repository base. test/package is a good default path to use.
Ubuntu 16.04:
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=debian --var=os-image=ubuntu:16.04 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest_2.08-0_amd64.deb
CentOS/RHEL 6:
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=centos6 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest-2.08-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
CentOS/RHEL 7:
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=centos7 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest-2.08-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
Packages can be built with test.pl using the following configuration on top of the configuration given for building the documentation.
