PLATFORM= MACOSX10.6 X86_64 MAX
Problem: The test was failing on pb2's mac machine because
it was not cleaned up properly. The test checks if
the command 'start slave until' throws a proper
error when issued with a wrong number/type of
parameters. After this,the replication stream was
stopped using the include file 'rpl_end.inc'.
The errors thrown earlier left the slave in an
inconsistent state to be closed by the include
file which was caught by the mac machine.
Fix: Started slave by invoking start_slave.inc to have a
working slave before calling rpl_reset.inc
Problem: The test file was not in a good shape. It tested
start slave until relay log file/pos combination
wrongly. A couple of commands were executed at
master and replicated at slave. Next, the
coordinates in terms of relay log file and pos
were noted down followed by reset slave and start
slave until saved relay log file/pos. Reset slave
deletes all relay log files and makes the slave
forget its replication position. So, using the
saved coordiantes after reset slave is wrong.
Fix: Split the test in two parts:
a) Test for start slave until master log file/pos and
checking for correct errors in the failure
scenarios.
b) Test for start slave until relay log file/pos.
Problem: The variables auto_increment_increment and
auto_increment_offset were set in the the include
file rpl_init.inc. This was only configured for
some connections that are rarely used by test
cases, so likely that it will cause confusion.
If replication tests want to setup these variables
they should do so explicitly.
Fix:
a) Removed code to set the variables
auto_increment_increment and auto_increment_offset
in the include file.
b) Updated tests files using the same.
Major replication test framework cleanup. This does the following:
- Ensure that all tests clean up the replication state when they
finish, by making check-testcase check the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS.
This implies:
- Slave must not be running after test finished. This is good
because it removes the risk for sporadic errors in subsequent
tests when a test forgets to sync correctly.
- Slave SQL and IO errors must be cleared when test ends. This is
good because we will notice if a test gets an unexpected error in
the slave threads near the end.
- We no longer have to clean up before a test starts.
- Ensure that all tests that wait for an error in one of the slave
threads waits for a specific error. It is no longer possible to
source wait_for_slave_[sql|io]_to_stop.inc when there is an error
in one of the slave threads. This is good because:
- If a test expects an error but there is a bug that causes
another error to happen, or if it stops the slave thread without
an error, then we will notice.
- When developing tests, wait_for_*_to_[start|stop].inc will fail
immediately if there is an error in the relevant slave thread.
Before this patch, we had to wait for the timeout.
- Remove duplicated and repeated code for setting up unusual replication
topologies. Now, there is a single file that is capable of setting
up arbitrary topologies (include/rpl_init.inc, but
include/master-slave.inc is still available for the most common
topology). Tests can now end with include/rpl_end.inc, which will clean
up correctly no matter what topology is used. The topology can be
changed with include/rpl_change_topology.inc.
- Improved debug information when tests fail. This includes:
- debug info is printed on all servers configured by include/rpl_init.inc
- User can set $rpl_debug=1, which makes auxiliary replication files
print relevant debug info.
- Improved documentation for all auxiliary replication files. Now they
describe purpose, usage, parameters, and side effects.
- Many small code cleanups:
- Made have_innodb.inc output a sensible error message.
- Moved contents of rpl000017-slave.sh into rpl000017.test
- Added mysqltest variables that expose the current state of
disable_warnings/enable_warnings and friends.
- Too many to list here: see per-file comments for details.
