This commit revives the improves the ability to run the test suite against
external servers, instead of launching and managing `redis-server` processes as
part of the test fixture.
This capability existed in the past, using the `--host` and `--port` options.
However, it was quite limited and mostly useful when running a specific tests.
Attempting to run larger chunks of the test suite experienced many issues:
* Many tests depend on being able to start and control `redis-server` themselves,
and there's no clear distinction between external server compatible and other
tests.
* Cluster mode is not supported (resulting with `CROSSSLOT` errors).
This PR cleans up many things and makes it possible to run the entire test suite
against an external server. It also provides more fine grained controls to
handle cases where the external server supports a subset of the Redis commands,
limited number of databases, cluster mode, etc.
The tests directory now contains a `README.md` file that describes how this
works.
This commit also includes additional cleanups and fixes:
* Tests can now be tagged.
* Tag-based selection is now unified across `start_server`, `tags` and `test`.
* More information is provided about skipped or ignored tests.
* Repeated patterns in tests have been extracted to common procedures, both at a
global level and on a per-test file basis.
* Cleaned up some cases where test setup was based on a previous test executing
(a major anti-pattern that repeats itself in many places).
* Cleaned up some cases where test teardown was not part of a test (in the
future we should have dedicated teardown code that executes even when tests
fail).
* Fixed some tests that were flaky running on external servers.
* SLOWLOG didn't record anything for blocked commands because the client
was reset and argv was already empty. there was a fix for this issue
specifically for modules, now it works for all blocked clients.
* The original command argv (before being re-written) was also reset
before adding the slowlog on behalf of the blocked command.
* Latency monitor is now updated regardless of the slowlog flags of the
command or its execution (their purpose is to hide sensitive info from
the slowlog, not hide the fact the latency happened).
* Latency monitor now uses real_cmd rather than c->cmd (which may be
different if the command got re-written, e.g. GEOADD)
Changes:
* Unify shared code between slowlog insertion in call() and
updateStatsOnUnblock(), hopefully prevent future bugs from happening
due to the later being overlooked.
* Reset CLIENT_PREVENT_LOGGING in resetClient rather than after command
processing.
* Add a test for SLOWLOG and BLPOP
Notes:
- real_cmd == c->lastcmd, except inside MULTI and Lua.
- blocked commands never happen in these cases (MULTI / Lua)
- real_cmd == c->cmd, except for when the command is rewritten (e.g.
GEOADD)
- blocked commands (currently) are never rewritten
- other than the command's CLIENT_PREVENT_LOGGING, and the
execution flag CLIENT_PREVENT_LOGGING, other cases that we want to
avoid slowlog are on AOF loading (specifically CMD_CALL_SLOWLOG will
be off when executed from execCommand that runs from an AOF)
In fast systems "SLOWLOG RESET" is fast enough to don't be logged even
when the time limit is "1" sometimes. Leading to false positives such
as:
[err]: SLOWLOG - can be disabled in tests/unit/slowlog.tcl
Expected '1' to be equal to '0'
The Redis Slow Log always used to log the slow commands executed inside
a MULTI/EXEC block. However also EXEC was logged at the end, which is
perfectly useless.
Now EXEC is no longer logged and a test was added to test this behavior.
This fixes issue #759.
Two limits are added:
1) Up to SLOWLOG_ENTRY_MAX_ARGV arguments are logged.
2) Up to SLOWLOG_ENTRY_MAX_STRING bytes per argument are logged.
3) slowlog-max-len is set to 128 by default (was 1024).
The number of remaining arguments / bytes is logged in the entry
so that the user can understand better the nature of the logged command.
