Now that the command argument specs are available at runtime (#9656), this PR addresses #8084 by implementing a complete solution for command-line hinting in `redis-cli`. It correctly handles nearly every case in Redis's complex command argument definitions, including `BLOCK` and `ONEOF` arguments, reordering of optional arguments, and repeated arguments (even when followed by mandatory arguments). It also validates numerically-typed arguments. It may not correctly handle all possible combinations of those, but overall it is quite robust. Arguments are only matched after the space bar is typed, so partial word matching is not supported - that proved to be more confusing than helpful. When the user's current input cannot be matched against the argument specs, hinting is disabled. Partial support has been implemented for legacy (pre-7.0) servers that do not support `COMMAND DOCS`, by falling back to a statically-compiled command argument table. On startup, if the server does not support `COMMAND DOCS`, `redis-cli` will now issue an `INFO SERVER` command to retrieve the server version (unless `HELLO` has already been sent, in which case the server version will be extracted from the reply to `HELLO`). The server version will be used to filter the commands and arguments in the command table, removing those not supported by that version of the server. However, the static table only includes core Redis commands, so with a legacy server hinting will not be supported for module commands. The auto generated help.h and the scripts that generates it are gone. Command and argument tables for the server and CLI use different structs, due primarily to the need to support different runtime data. In order to generate code for both, macros have been added to `commands.def` (previously `commands.c`) to make it possible to configure the code generation differently for different use cases (one linked with redis-server, and one with redis-cli). Also adding a basic testing framework for the command hints based on new (undocumented) command line options to `redis-cli`: `--test_hint 'INPUT'` prints out the command-line hint for a given input string, and `--test_hint_file <filename>` runs a suite of test cases for the hinting mechanism. The test suite is in `tests/assets/test_cli_hint_suite.txt`, and it is run from `tests/integration/redis-cli.tcl`.

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
