We will not reset failover_auth_time after setting it, this is used to check auth_timeout and auth_retry_time, but we should at least reset it after a successful failover. Let's assume the following scenario: 1. Two replicas initiate an election. 2. Replica 1 is elected as the primary node, and replica 2 does not have enough votes. 3. Replica 1 is down, ie the new primary node down again in a short time. 4. Replica 2 know that the new primary node is down and wants to initiate a failover, but because the failover_auth_time of the previous round has not been reset, it needs to wait for it to time out and then wait for the next retry time, which will take cluster-node-timeout * 4 times, this adds a lot of delay. There is another problem. Like we will set additional random time for failover_auth_time, such as random 500ms and replicas ranking 1s. If replica 2 receives PONG from the new primary node before sending the FAILOVER_AUTH_REQUEST, that is, before the failover_auth_time, it will change itself to a replica. If the new primary node goes down again at this time, replica 2 will use the previous failover_auth_time to initiate an election instead of going through the logic of random 500ms and replicas ranking 1s again, which may lead to unexpected consequences (for example, a low-ranking replica initiates an election and becomes the new primary node). That is, we need to reset failover_auth_time at the appropriate time. When the replica switches to a new primary, we reset it, because the existing failover_auth_time is already out of date in this case. --------- Signed-off-by: Binbin <binloveplay1314@qq.com>
Valkey Test Suite
Overview
Integration tests are written in Tcl, a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language [source].
runtest
is the main entrance point for running integration tests.
For example, to run a single test;
./runtest --single unit/your_test_name
# For additional arguments, you may refer to the `runtest` script itself.
The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating
local valkey-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 Valkey Cluster compatibility mode. |
--large-memory |
Enables tests that consume more than 100mb |
Debugging
You can set a breakpoint and invoke a minimal debugger using the bp
function.
... your test code before break-point
bp 1
... your test code after break-point
The bp 1
will give back the tcl interpreter to the developer, and allow you to interactively print local variables (through puts
), run functions and so forth [source].
bp
takes a single argument, which is 1
for the case above, and is used to label a breakpoint with a string.
Labels are printed out when breakpoints are hit, so you can identify which breakpoint was triggered.
Breakpoints can be skipped by setting the global variable ::bp_skip
, and by providing the labels you want to skip.
The minimal debugger comes with the following predefined functions.
- Press
c
to continue past the breakpoint. - Press
i
to print local variables.
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
