* allowing --single to be repeated
* adding --only so that only a specific test inside a unit can be run
* adding --skiptill useful to resume a test that crashed passed the problematic unit.
useful together with --clients 1
* adding --skipfile to use a file containing list of tests names to skip
* printing the names of the tests that are skiped by skipfile or denytags
* adding --config to add config file options from command line
* fail the test (exit code) in case of timeout.
* add --wait-server to allow attaching a debugger
* add --dont-clean to keep log files when tests are done
other fixes / improvements:
- LUA script memory isn't taken from zmalloc (taken from libc malloc)
so it can cause high fragmentation ratio to be displayed (which is false)
- there was a problem with "fragmentation" info being calculated from
RSS and used_memory sampled at different times (now sampling them together)
other details:
- adding a few more allocator info fields to INFO and MEMORY commands
- improve defrag test to measure defrag latency of big keys
- increasing the accuracy of the defrag test (by looking at real grag info)
this way we can use an even lower threshold and still avoid false positives
- keep the old (total) "fragmentation" field unchanged, but add new ones for spcific things
- add these the MEMORY DOCTOR command
- deduct LUA memory from the rss in case of non jemalloc allocator (one for which we don't "allocator active/used")
- reduce sampling rate of the rss and allocator info
Experimentally verified that it can trigger the issue reverting the fix.
At least on my system... Being the bug time/backlog dependant, it is
very hard to tell if this test will be able to trigger the problem
consistently, however even if it triggers the problem once in a while,
we'll see it in the CI environment at http://ci.redis.io.
Some inline test moved into server_is_up procedure.
Also find_available_port was moved into util since it is going
to be used for the Sentinel test as well.
The Redis test uses a server-clients model in order to parallelize the
execution of different tests. However in recent versions of osx not
setting the channel to a binary encoding caused issues even if AFAIK no
binary data is really sent via this channel. However now the channels
are deliberately set to a binary encoding and this solves the issue.
The exact issue was the test not terminating and giving the impression
of running forever, since test clients or servers were unable to
exchange the messages to continue.
The Redis implementation is tested against Tcl implementations of the
same operation. Both fuzzing and testing of specific aspects of the
commands behavior are performed.
