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.
Bug #49984 Test 'rpl_loaddata_symlink' fails with "Could not find target log"
Sometimes the symbolic link is available on Windows if
you have some Unix (emulation) layer installed like
Cygwin, MKS or other. But symbolic link is not always
available. It depends on versions, file volume and
system environment of Windows. And the symbolic link
is not typically used on Windows, at least not in the
degree and style they are used on Unix. We can not
change the test case to do without symbolic link,
because the test case is used to test that if the
symbolic link works fine.
To fix the problem, skip the test on windows.
The 'slave_patternload_file' is assigned to the real path of the load data file
when initializing the object of Relay_log_info. But the path of the load data
file is not formatted to real path when executing event from relay log. So the
error will be encountered if the path of the load data file is a symbolic link.
Actually the global 'opt_secure_file_priv' is not formatted to real path when
loading data from file. So the same thing will happen too.
To fix these errors, the path of the load data file should be formatted to
real path when executing event from relay log. And the 'opt_secure_file_priv'
should be formatted to real path when loading data infile.
