The partitioning clause is only a very long single line, which is very
hard to interpret for a human. This patch breaks the partitioning
syntax into one line for the partitioning type, and one line per
partition/subpartition.
The problem is that relying on the output of the 'ls' command is not
portable as its behavior is not the same between systems and it might
even not be available at all in (Windows).
So I added list_files that relies on the portable mysys library instead.
(and also list_files_write_file and list_files_append_file,
since the test was using '--exec ls' in that way.)
Since it used /tmp-dir, it continues to fail on the same server
until the /tmp-dir is cleaned. (Another problem was that it
uses DATA/INDEX DIR without checking for symlink, which is needed)
Solution:
Moved all DATA/INDEX DIR test to a new partition_basic_symlink.inc file
and use this for myisam and innodb, also requiring symlinks and
not_windows.
(i.e. removed DATA/INDEX DIR use from several tests)
Bug#31610 Remove outdated and redundant tests:
partition_02myisam partition_03ndb
Bug#32405 testsuite parts: partition_char_myisam wrong content
and cleanup of testsuite
- remove/correct wrong comments
- remove workarounds for fixed bugs
- replace error numbers with error names
- exclude subtests from execution which fail now because of
new limitations for partitioning functions
- remove code for the no more intended dual use
fast test in regression tests/slow test in testsuite
- analyze and fix problems with partition_char_innodb
- fix problems caused by last change of error numbers
- Introduce error name to error number mapping which makes
maintenance after next error renumbering easier
Bug#31481 test suite parts: Many tests fail because of changed server error codes
Bug#31243 Test "partition_basic_myisam" truncates path names
+ minor cleanup
Bug #30316: Some "parts" tests fail because the server uses "--secure-file-priv"
Bug #30341: Test suite "parts" needs to be adapted to the new rules disallowing many functio
Bug #30408: Suite "parts" needs bug numbers updated
Bug #30411: Suite "parts" needs bug numbers updated: ER_UNIQUE_KEY_NEED_ALL_FIELDS_IN_PF
Bug #30576: part_supported_sql_func_innodb.test tries to LOAD DATA outside of var dir
Bug #30581: partition_value tests use disallowed CAST() function
Included are some general fixes to allow the "parts" test suite to be run
successfully. This includes disabling a few tests or parts of tests,
cleaning up the test cases and their results, etc. Basically, these tests
have not been run for some time, and had suffered some bit rot.
The bugs were fixed as a single changeset, because in some ways they depend
on each other. I couldn't be sure I'd updated all the error codes (for
bugs 30408 and 30411) without also adapting to the new allowed functions
rules (bug 30341), and vice versa.
