Syntax: `COMMAND DOCS [<command name> ...]` Background: Apparently old version of hiredis (and thus also redis-cli) can't support more than 7 levels of multi-bulk nesting. The solution is to move all the doc related metadata from COMMAND to a new COMMAND DOCS sub-command. The new DOCS sub-command returns a map of commands (not an array like in COMMAND), And the same goes for the `subcommands` field inside it (also contains a map) Besides that, the remaining new fields of COMMAND (hints, key-specs, and sub-commands), are placed in the outer array rather than a nested map. this was done mainly for consistency with the old format. Other changes: --- * Allow COMMAND INFO with no arguments, which returns all commands, so that we can some day deprecated the plain COMMAND (no args) * Reduce the amount of deferred replies from both COMMAND and COMMAND DOCS, especially in the inner loops, since these create many small reply objects, which lead to many small write syscalls and many small TCP packets. To make this easier, when populating the command table, we count the history, args, and hints so we later know their size in advance. Additionally, the movablekeys flag was moved into the flags register. * Update generate-commands-json.py to take the data from both command, it now executes redis-cli directly, instead of taking input from stdin. * Sub-commands in both COMMAND (and COMMAND INFO), and also COMMAND DOCS, show their full name. i.e. CONFIG * GET will be shown as `config|get` rather than just `get`. This will be visible both when asking for `COMMAND INFO config` and COMMAND INFO config|get`, but is especially important for the later. i.e. imagine someone doing `COMMAND INFO slowlog|get config|get` not being able to distinguish between the two items in the array response. |

Redis Test Suite
The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating
local redis-server instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.
The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is
enabled using the --host and --port parameters. When executing against an
external server, tests tagged external:skip are skipped.
There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:
| Option | Impact |
|---|---|
--singledb |
Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported. |
--ignore-encoding |
Skip all checks for specific encoding. |
--ignore-digest |
Skip key value digest validations. |
--cluster-mode |
Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode. |
--large-memory |
Enables tests that consume more than 100mb |
Tags
Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.
Tags can be applied in different context levels:
start_servercontexttagscontext that bundles several tests together- A single test context.
The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:
| Tag | Indicates |
|---|---|
external:skip |
Not compatible with external servers. |
cluster:skip |
Not compatible with --cluster-mode. |
large-memory |
Test that requires more than 100mb |
tls:skip |
Not campatible with --tls. |
needs:repl |
Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server. |
needs:debug |
Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT). |
needs:pfdebug |
Uses the PFDEBUG command. |
needs:config-maxmemory |
Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc. |
needs:config-resetstat |
Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics. |
needs:reset |
Uses RESET to reset client connections. |
needs:save |
Uses SAVE to create an RDB file. |
When using an external server (--host and --port), filtering using the
external:skip tags is done automatically.
When using --cluster-mode, filtering using the cluster:skip tag is done
automatically.
When not using --large-memory, filtering using the largemem:skip tag is done
automatically.
In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to
run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC use:
./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
