The test have a race:
```
*** [err]: Redis can rewind and trigger smaller slot resizing in tests/unit/other.tcl
Expected '[Dictionary HT]
Hash table 0 stats (main hash table):
table size: 12
number of elements: 2
[Expires HT]
Hash table 0 stats (main hash table):
No stats available for empty dictionaries
' to match '*table size: 8*' (context: type eval line 12 cmd {assert_match "*table size: 8*" [r debug HTSTATS 0]} proc ::test)
```
When `r del "{alice}$j"` is executed in the loop, when the key is
deleted to [9, 12], the load factor has meet HASHTABLE_MIN_FILL,
if serverCron happens to trigger slot dict resize, then the test
will fail. Because there is not way to meet HASHTABLE_MIN_FILL in
the subsequent dels.
The solution is to avoid triggering the resize in advance. We can
use multi to delete them at once, or we can disable the resize.
Since we disabled resize in the previous test, the fix also uses
the method of disabling resize.
The test is introduced in #12802.
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 compatible 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 REFCOUNT). |
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 or BGSAVE 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
