bsearch() is far more efficient than an iterative approach except in the most trivial cases. For now insert will reset the sort order to none and the list will need to be resorted before bsearch() can be used. This is necessary because item pointers are not stable after a sort, i.e. they can move around. Until lists are stable it's not a good idea to surprise the caller by mixing up their pointers on insert.
pgBackRest
Regression, Unit, & Integration Testing
Introduction
pgBackRest uses Docker to run tests and generate documentation. Docker's light-weight virtualization 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
syntheticandfulltests in thebackupmodule.
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
fulltest in thebackupmodule.
Iterate All Possible Test Combinations:
