David Steele d211c2b8b5 Fix possible truncated WAL segments when an error occurs mid-write.
The file write object destructors called close() and finalized the file even if it was not completely written.  This was an issue in both the C and Perl code.

Rewrite the destructors to simply free resources (like file handles) rather than calling the close() method.  This leaves the temp file in place for filesystems that use temp files.

Add unit tests to prevent regression.

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 and full tests in the backup 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 the backup module.

Iterate All Possible Test Combinations:

/backrest/test/test.pl --dry-run
