This allows modules to register commands to existing ACL categories and blocks the creation of [sub]commands, datatypes and registering the configs outside of the OnLoad function. For allowing modules to register commands to existing ACL categories, This PR implements a new API int RM_SetCommandACLCategories() which takes a pointer to a RedisModuleCommand and a C string aclflags containing the set of space separated ACL categories. Example, 'write slow' marks the command as part of the write and slow ACL categories. The C string aclflags is tokenized by implementing a helper function categoryFlagsFromString(). Theses tokens are matched and the corresponding ACL categories flags are set by a helper function matchAclCategoriesFlags. The helper function categoryFlagsFromString() returns the corresponding categories_flags or returns -1 if some token not processed correctly. If the module contains commands which are registered to existing ACL categories, the number of [sub]commands are tracked by num_commands_with_acl_categories in struct RedisModule. Further, the allowed command bit-map of the existing users are recomputed from the command_rules list, by implementing a function called ACLRecomputeCommandBitsFromCommandRulesAllUsers() for the existing users to have access to the module commands on runtime. ## Breaking change This change requires that registering commands and subcommands only occur during a modules "OnLoad" function, in order to allow efficient recompilation of ACL bits. We also chose to block registering configs and types, since we believe it's only valid for those to be created during onLoad. We check for this onload flag in struct RedisModule to check if the call is made from the OnLoad function. Co-authored-by: Madelyn Olson <madelyneolson@gmail.com>
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_server
contexttags
context 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
