## Take one bulk string with spaces for MULTI_ARG configs parsing Currently redis-server looks for arguments that start with `--`, and anything in between them is considered arguments for the config. like: `src/redis-server --shutdown-on-sigint nosave force now --port 6380` MULTI_ARG configs behave differently for CONFIG command, vs the command line argument for redis-server. i.e. CONFIG command takes one bulk string with spaces in it, while the command line takes an argv array with multiple values. In this PR, in config.c, if `argc > 1` we can take them as is, and if the config is a `MULTI_ARG` and `argc == 1`, we will split it by spaces. So both of these will be the same: ``` redis-server --shutdown-on-sigint nosave force now --shutdown-on-sigterm nosave force redis-server --shutdown-on-sigint nosave "force now" --shutdown-on-sigterm nosave force redis-server --shutdown-on-sigint nosave "force now" --shutdown-on-sigterm "nosave force" ``` ## Allow options value to use the `--` prefix Currently it decides to switch to the next config, as soon as it sees `--`, even if there was not a single value provided yet to the last config, this makes it impossible to define a config value that has `--` prefix in it. For instance, if we want to set the logfile to `--my--log--file`, like `redis-server --logfile --my--log--file --loglevel verbose`, current code will handle that incorrectly. In this PR, now we allow a config value that has `--` prefix in it. **But note that** something like `redis-server --some-config --config-value1 --config-value2 --loglevel debug` would not work, because if you want to pass a value to a config starting with `--`, it can only be a single value. like: `redis-server --some-config "--config-value1 --config-value2" --loglevel debug` An example (using `--` prefix config value): ``` redis-server --logfile --my--log--file --loglevel verbose redis-cli config get logfile loglevel 1) "loglevel" 2) "verbose" 3) "logfile" 4) "--my--log--file" ``` ### Potentially breaking change `redis-server --save --loglevel verbose` used to work the same as `redis-server --save "" --loglevel verbose` now, it'll error!
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 campatible 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). |
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 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
