Some of the test cases reference to binlog position and
these position numbers are written into result explicitly.
It is difficult to maintain if log event format changes.
There are a couple of cases explicit position number appears,
we handle them in different ways
A. 'CHANGE MASTER ...' with MASTER_LOG_POS or/and RELAY_LOG_POS options
Use --replace_result to mask them.
B. 'SHOW BINLOG EVENT ...'
Replaced by show_binlog_events.inc or wait_for_binlog_event.inc.
show_binlog_events.inc file's function is enhanced by given
$binlog_file and $binlog_limit.
C. 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS', 'show_slave_status.inc' and 'show_slave_status2.inc'
For the test cases just care a few items in the result of 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS',
only the items related to each test case are showed.
'show_slave_status.inc' is rebuild, only the given items in $status_items
will be showed.
'check_slave_is_running.inc' and 'check_slave_no_error.inc'
and 'check_slave_param.inc' are auxiliary files helping
to show running status and error information easily.
Problem 1: The test waits for an error in the slave sql thread,
then resolves the error and issues 'start slave'. However, there
is a gap between when the error is reported and the slave sql
thread stops. If this gap was long, the slave would still be
running when 'start slave' happened, so 'start slave' would fail
and cause a test failure.
Fix 1: Made wait_for_slave_sql_error wait for the slave to stop
instead of wait for error in the IO thread. After stopping, the
error code is verified. If the error code is wrong, debug info
is printed. To print debug info, the debug printing code in
wait_for_slave_param.inc was moved out to a new file,
show_rpl_debug_info.inc.
Problem 2: rpl_stm_mystery22 is a horrible name, the comments in
the file didn't explain anything useful, the test was generally
hard to follow, and the test was essentially duplicated between
rpl_stm_mystery22 and rpl_row_mystery22.
Fix 2: The test is about conflicts in the slave SQL thread,
hence I renamed the tests to rpl_{stm,row}_conflicts. Refactored
the test so that the work is done in
extra/rpl_tests/rpl_conflicts.inc, and
rpl.rpl_{row,stm}_conflicts merely sets some variables and then
sourced extra/rpl_tests/rpl_conflicts.inc.
The tests have been rewritten and comments added.
Problem 3: When calling wait_for_slave_sql_error.inc, you always
want to verify that the sql thread stops because of the expected
error and not because of some other error. Currently,
wait_for_slave_sql_error.inc allows the caller to omit the error
code, in which case all error codes are accepted.
Fix 3: Made wait_for_slave_sql_error.inc fail if no error code
is given. Updated rpl_filter_tables_not_exist accordingly.
Problem 4: rpl_filter_tables_not_exist had a typo, the dollar
sign was missing in a 'let' statement.
Fix 4: Added dollar sign.
Problem 5: When replicating from other servers than the one named
'master', the wait_for_slave_* macros were unable to print debug
info on the master.
Fix 5: Replace parameter $slave_keep_connection by
$master_connection.
