This test is very sensitive and fragile. It often fails in Daily,
in most cases, it failed in test-ubuntu-32bit (the AOF loading one),
with the range in (31, 40):
```
[err]: Active defrag in tests/unit/memefficiency.tcl
Expected 38 <= 30 (context: type eval line 113 cmd {assert {$max_latency <= 30}} proc ::test)
```
The AOF loading part isn't tightly fixed to the cron hz. It calls
processEventsWhileBlocked once in every 1024 command calls.
```
/* Serve the clients from time to time */
if (!(loops++ % 1024)) {
off_t progress_delta = ftello(fp) - last_progress_report_size;
loadingIncrProgress(progress_delta);
last_progress_report_size += progress_delta;
processEventsWhileBlocked();
processModuleLoadingProgressEvent(1);
}
```
In this case, we can either decrease the 1024 or increase the
threshold of just the AOF part of that test. Considering the test
machines are sometimes slow, and all sort of quirks could happen
(which do not indicate a bug), and we've already set to 30, we suppose
we can set it a little bit higher, set it to 40. We can have this instead of
adding another testing config (we can add it when we really need it).
Fixes #11868
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 compatible 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 REFCOUNT). |
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 or BGSAVE 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
