MYSQL-TEST-RUN()                                            MYSQL-TEST-RUN()

NAME         top

       mysql-test-run.pl - run MariaDB test suite

SYNOPSIS         top

       mysql-test-run.pl [options]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The mysql-test-run.pl Perl script is the main application used to run
       the MariaDB test suite. It invokes mysqltest to run individual test
       cases.
       Invoke mysql-test-run.pl in the mysql-test directory like this:
           shell> mysql-test-run.pl [options] [test_name] ...
       Each test_name argument names a test case. The test case file that
       corresponds to the test name is t/test_name.test.
       For each test_name argument, mysql-test-run.pl runs the named test
       case. With no test_name arguments, mysql-test-run.pl runs all .test
       files in the t subdirectory.
       If no suffix is given for the test name, a suffix of .test is
       assumed. Any leading path name is ignored. These commands are
       equivalent:
           shell> mysql-test-run.pl mytest
           shell> mysql-test-run.pl mytest.test
           shell> mysql-test-run.pl t/mytest.test
       A suite name can be given as part of the test name. That is, the
       syntax for naming a test is:
           [suite_name.]test_name[.suffix]
       If a suite name is given, mysql-test-run.pl looks in that suite for
       the test. The test file corresponding to a test named
       suite_name.test_name is found in suite/suite_name/t/test_name.test.
       There is also an implicit suite name main for the tests in the top t
       directory. With no suite name, mysql-test-run.pl looks in the default
       list of suites for a match and runs the test in any suites where it
       finds the test. Suppose that the default suite list is main, binlog,
       rpl, and that a test mytest.test exists in the main and rpl suites.
       With an argument of mytest or mytest.test, mysql-test-run.pl will run
       mytest.test from the main and rpl suites.
       To run a family of test cases for which the names share a common
       prefix, use the --do-test=prefix option. For example, --do-test=rpl
       runs the replication tests (test cases that have names beginning with
       rpl).  --skip-test has the opposite effect of skipping test cases for
       which the names share a common prefix.
       The argument for the --do-test and --skip-test options also allows
       more flexible specification of which tests to perform or skip. If the
       argument contains a pattern metacharacter other than a lone period,
       it is interpreted as a Perl regular expression and applies to test
       names that match the pattern. If the argument contains a lone period
       or does not contain any pattern metacharacters, it is interpreted the
       same way as previously and matches test names that begin with the
       argument value. For example, --do-test=testa matches tests that begin
       with testa, --do-test=main.testa matches tests in the main test suite
       that begin with testa, and --do-test=main.*testa matches test names
       that contain main followed by testa with anything in between. In the
       latter case, the pattern match is not anchored to the beginning of
       the test name, so it also matches names such as xmainytesta.
       To perform setup prior to running tests, mysql-test-run.pl needs to
       invoke mysqld with the --bootstrap and --skip-grant-tables options.
       If MySQL was configured with the --disable-grant-options option,
       --bootstrap, --skip-grant-tables, and --init-file will be disabled.
       To handle this, set the MYSQLD_BOOTSTRAP environment variable to the
       full path name of a server that has all options enabled.
       mysql-test-run.pl will use that server to perform setup; it is not
       used to run the tests.
       The init_file test will fail if --init-file is disabled. This is an
       expected failure that can be handled as follows:
           shell> export MYSQLD_BOOTSTRAP
           shell> MYSQLD_BOOTSTRAP=/full/path/to/mysqld
           shell> make test force="--skip-test=init_file"
       To run mysql-test-run.pl on Windows, you´ll need either Cygwin or
       ActiveState Perl to run it. You may also need to install the modules
       required by the script. To run the test script, change location into
       the mysql-test directory, set the MTR_VS_CONFIG environment variable
       to the configuration you selected earlier (or use the --vs-config
       option), and invoke mysql-test-run.pl. For example (using Cygwin and
       the bash shell):
           shell> cd mysql-test
           shell> export MTR_VS_CONFIG=debug
           shell> ./mysqltest-run.pl --force --timer
           shell> ./mysqltest-run.pl --force --timer --ps-protocol
       mysql-test-run.pl uses several environment variables. Some of them
       are listed in the following table. Some of these are set from the
       outside and used by mysql-test-run.pl, others are set by
       mysql-test-run.pl instead, and may be referred to in tests.

       The variable MTR_PORT_BASE was added in MySQL 5.1.45 as a more
       logical replacement for MTR_BUILD_THREAD. It gives the actual port
       number directly (will be rounded down to a multiple of 10). If you
       use MTR_BUILD_THREAD, the port number is found by multiplying this by
       10 and adding 10000.
       Tests sometimes rely on certain environment variables being defined.
       For example, certain tests assume that MYSQL_TEST is defined so that
       mysqltest can invoke itself with exec $MYSQL_TEST.
       Other tests may refer to the last three variables listed in the
       preceding table, to locate files to read or write. For example, tests
       that need to create files will typically put them in
       $MYSQL_TMP_DIR/file_name.
       If you are running mysql-test-run.pl version 1 by setting
       MTR_VERSION, note that this only affects the test driver, not the
       test client (and its language) or the tests themselves.
       A few tests might not run with version 1 because they depend on some
       feature of version 2. You may have those tests skipped by adding the
       test name to the file lib/v1/incompatible.tests. This feature is
       available from MySQL 5.1.40.
       mysql-test-run.pl supports the options in the following list. An
       argument of -- tells mysql-test-run.pl not to process any following
       arguments as options.
       ·   --help, -h
           Display a help message and exit.
       ·   --big-test
           Allow tests marked as "big" to run. Tests can be thus marked by
           including the line --source include/big_test.inc, and they will
           only be run if this option is given, or if the environment
           variable BIG_TEST is set to 1. Repeat this option twice to run
           only "big" tests.
           This is typically used for tests that take a very long to run, or
           that use many resources, so that they are not suitable for
           running as part of a normal test suite run.
       ·   --boot-dbx
           Run the mysqld server used for bootstrapping the database through
           the dbx debugger.
       ·   --boot-ddd
           Run the mysqld server used for bootstrapping the database through
           the ddd debugger.
       ·   --boot-gdb
           Run the mysqld server used for bootstrapping the database through
           the gdb debugger.
       ·   --[mtr-]build-thread=number
           Specify a number to calculate port numbers from. The formula is
           10 * build_thread + 10000. Instead of a number, it can be set to
           auto, which is also the default value, in which case
           mysql-test-run.pl will allocate a number unique to this host.
           The value (number or auto) can also be set with the
           MTR_BUILD_THREAD environment variable.
           The more logical --port-base is supported as an alternative.
       ·   --callgrind
           Instructs valgrind to use callgrind.
       ·   --check-testcases
           Check test cases for side effects. This is done by checking
           system state before and after each test case; if there is any
           difference, a warning to that effect will be written, but the
           test case will not be marked as failed because of it. This check
           is enabled by default.
       ·   --client-bindir=path
           The path to the directory where client binaries are located.
       ·   --client-dbx
           Start mysqltest in the dbx debugger.
       ·   --client-ddd
           Start mysqltest in the ddd debugger.
       ·   --client-debugger=debugger
           Start mysqltest in the named debugger.
       ·   --client-gdb
           Start mysqltest in the gdb debugger.
       ·   --client-libdir=path
           The path to the directory where client libraries are located.
       ·   --combination=value
           Extra options to pass to mysqld. The value should consist of one
           or more comma-separated mysqld options. This option is similar to
           --mysqld but should be given two or more times.
           mysql-test-run.pl executes multiple test runs, using the options
           for each instance of --combination in successive runs. If
           --combination is given only once, it has no effect. For test runs
           specific to a given test suite, an alternative to the use of
           --combination is to create a combinations file in the suite
           directory. The file should contain a section of options for each
           test run.
       ·   --comment=str
           Write str to the output within lines filled with #, as a form of
           banner.
       ·   --compress
           Compress all information sent between the client and the server
           if both support compression.
       ·   --cursor-protocol
           Use the cursor protocol between client and server (implies
           --ps-protocol).
       ·   --dbx
           Start the mysqld(s) in the dbx debugger.
       ·   --ddd
           Start the mysqld(s) in the ddd debugger.
       ·   --debug
           Dump trace output for all clients and servers.
       ·   --debug-common
           Same as --debug, but sets the 'd' debug flags to
           "query,info,error,enter,exit".
       ·   --debug-server
           Use debug version of server, but without turning on tracing.
       ·   --debugger=debugger
           Start mysqld using the named debugger.
       ·   --debug-sync-timeout=N
           Controls whether the Debug Sync facility for testing and
           debugging is enabled. The option value is a timeout in seconds.
           The default value is 300. A value of 0 disables Debug Sync. The
           value of this option also becomes the default timeout for
           individual synchronization points.
           mysql-test-run.pl passes --loose-debug-sync-timeout=N to mysqld.
           The --loose prefix is used so that mysqld does not fail if Debug
           Sync is not compiled in.
       ·   --defaults-file=file_name
           Use the named file as fixed config file template for all tests.
       ·   --defaults_extra_file=file_name
           Add setting from the named file to all generated configs.
       ·   --do-test=prefix|regex
           Run all test cases having a name that begins with the given
           prefix value, or fulfils the regex. This option provides a
           convenient way to run a family of similarly named tests.
           The argument for the --do-test option also allows more flexible
           specification of which tests to perform. If the argument contains
           a pattern metacharacter other than a lone period, it is
           interpreted as a Perl regular expression and applies to test
           names that match the pattern. If the argument contains a lone
           period or does not contain any pattern metacharacters, it is
           interpreted the same way as previously and matches test names
           that begin with the argument value. For example, --do-test=testa
           matches tests that begin with testa, --do-test=main.testa matches
           tests in the main test suite that begin with testa, and
           --do-test=main.*testa matches test names that contain main
           followed by testa with anything in between. In the latter case,
           the pattern match is not anchored to the beginning of the test
           name, so it also matches names such as xmainytestz.
       ·   --dry-run
           Don't run any tests, print the list of tests that were selected
           for execution.
       ·   --embedded-server
           Use a version of mysqltest built with the embedded server.
       ·   --enable-disabled
           Ignore any disabled.def file, and also run tests marked as
           disabled. Success or failure of those tests will be reported the
           same way as other tests.
       ·   --experimental=file_name
           Specify a file that contains a list of test cases that should be
           displayed with the [ exp-fail ] code rather than [ fail ] if they
           fail.
           For an example of a file that might be specified via this option,
           see mysql-test/collections/default.experimental.
       ·   --extern option=value
           Use an already running server. The option/value pair is what is
           needed by the mysql client to connect to the server. Each
           --extern option can only take one option/value pair as an
           argument, so you need to repeat --extern for each pair needed.
           Example:
                     ./mysql-test-run.pl --extern socket=var/tmp/mysqld.1.sock alias
           Note: If a test case has an .opt file that requires the server to
           be restarted with specific options, the file will not be used.
           The test case likely will fail as a result.
       ·   --fast
           Do not perform controlled shutdown when servers need to be
           restarted or at the end of the test run. This is equivalent to
           using --shutdown-timeout=0.
       ·   --force-restart
           Always restart servers between tests.
       ·   --force
           Normally, mysql-test-run.pl exits if a test case fails.  --force
           causes execution to continue regardless of test case failure.
       ·   --gcov
           Collect coverage information after the test. The result is a gcov
           file per source and header file.
       ·   --gcov-src-dir
           Colllect coverage only within the given subdirectory. For
           example, if you're only developing the SQL layer, it makes sense
           to use --gcov-src-dir=sql.
       ·   --gdb
           Start the mysqld(s) in the gdb debugger.
       ·   --gprof
           Collect profiling information using the gprof profiling tool.
       ·   --manual-dbx
           Use a server that has already been started by the user in the dbx
           debugger.
       ·   --manual-ddd
           Use a server that has already been started by the user in the ddd
           debugger.
       ·   --manual-debug
           Use a server that has already been started by the user in a
           debugger.
       ·   --manual-gdb
           Use a server that has already been started by the user in the gdb
           debugger.
       ·   --manual-lldb
           Use a server that has already been started by the user in the
           lldb debugger.
       ·   --mark-progress
           Marks progress with timing (in milliseconds) and line number in
           var/log/testname.progress.
       ·   --max-connections=num
           The maximum number of simultaneous server connections that may be
           used per test. If not set, the maximum is 128. Minimum allowed
           limit is 8, maximum is 5120. Corresponds to the same option for
           mysqltest.
       ·   --max-save-core=N
           Limit the number of core files saved, to avoid filling up disks
           in case of a frequently crashing server. Defaults to 5, set to 0
           for no limit. May also be set with the environment variable
           MTR_MAX_SAVE_CORE
       ·   --max-save-datadir=N
           Limit the number of data directories saved after failed tests, to
           avoid filling up disks in case of frequent failures. Defaults to
           20, set to 0 for no limit. May also be set with the environment
           variable MTR_MAX_SAVE_DATADIR
       ·   --max-test-fail=N
           Stop execution after the specified number of tests have failed,
           to avoid using up resources (and time) in case of massive
           failures. retries are not counted, nor are failures of tests
           marked experimental. Defaults to 10, set to 0 for no limit. May
           also be set with the environment variable MTR_MAX_TEST_FAIL
       ·   --mem
           This option is not supported on Windows.
           Run the test suite in memory, using tmpfs or ramdisk. This can
           decrease test times significantly, in particular if you would
           otherwise be running over a remote file system.
           mysql-test-run.pl attempts to find a suitable location using a
           built-in list of standard locations for tmpfs and puts the var
           directory there. This option also affects placement of temporary
           files, which are created in var/tmp.
           The default list includes /dev/shm. You can also enable this
           option by setting the environment variable MTR_MEM[=dir_name]. If
           dir_name is given, it is added to the beginning of the list of
           locations to search, so it takes precedence over any built-in
           locations.
           Once you have run tests with --mem within a mysql-testdirectory,
           a soflink var will have been set up to the temporary directory,
           and this will be re-used the next time, until the soflink is
           deleted. Thus, you do not have to repeat the --mem option next
           time.
       ·   --mysqld=value
           Extra options to pass to mysqld. The value should consist of one
           or more comma-separated mysqld options.
       ·   --mysqld-env=VAR=VAL
           Specify additional environment settings for "mysqld". Use
           additional --mysqld-env options to set more than one variable.
       ·   --nocheck-testcases
           Disable the check for test case side effects; see
           --check-testcases for a description.
       ·   --noreorder
           Do not reorder tests to reduce number of restarts, but run them
           in exactly the order given. If a whole suite is to be run, the
           tests are run in alphabetical order, though similiar combinations
           will be grouped together. If more than one suite is listed, the
           tests are run one suite at a time, in the order listed.
       ·   --notimer
           Cause mysqltest not to generate a timing file. The effect of this
           is that the report from each test case does not include the
           timing in milliseconds as it normally does.
       ·   --nowarnings
           Do not look for and report errors and warning in the server logs.
       ·   --parallel={N|auto}
           Run tests using N parallel threads. By default, 1 thread is used.
           Use --parallel=auto for auto-setting of N.
       ·   --[mtr-]port-base=P
           Specify base of port numbers to be used; a block of 10 will be
           allocated.  P should be divisible by 10; if it is not, it will be
           rounded down. If running with more than one parallel test thread,
           thread 2 will use the next block of 10 and so on.
           If the port number is given as auto, which is also the default,
           mysql-test-run.pl will allocate a number unique to this host. The
           value may also be given with the environment variable
           MTR_PORT_BASE.
           If both --build-thread and --port-base are used, --port-base
           takes precedence.
       ·   --print-testcases
           Do not run any tests, but print details about all tests, in the
           order they would have been run.
       ·   --ps-protocol
           Use the binary protocol between client and server.
       ·   --record
           Pass the --record option to mysqltest. This option requires a
           specific test case to be named on the command line.
       ·   --reorder
           Reorder tests to minimize the number of server restarts needed.
           This is the default behavior. There is no guarantee that a
           particular set of tests will always end up in the same order.
       ·   --repeat=N
           Run each test N number of times.
       ·   --report-features
           First run a "test" that reports MariaDB features, displaying the
           output of SHOW ENGINES and SHOW VARIABLES. This can be used to
           verify that binaries are built with all required features.
       ·   --report-times
           Report how much time has been spent on different phases of test
           execution.
       ·   --retry=N
           If a test fails, it is retried up to a maximum of N runs (default
           1). Retries are also limited by the maximum number of failures
           before stopping, set with the --retry-failure option. This option
           has no effect unless --force is also used; without it, test
           execution will terminate after the first failure.
           The --retry and --retry-failure options do not affect how many
           times a test repeated with --repeat may fail in total, as each
           repetition is considered a new test case, which may in turn be
           retried if it fails.
       ·   --retry-failure=N
           When using the --retry option to retry failed tests, stop when N
           failures have occurred (default 2). Setting it to 0 or 1
           effectively turns off retries.
       ·   --shutdown-timeout=SECONDS
           Max number of seconds to wait for servers to do controlled
           shutdown before killing them. Default is 10.
       ·   --skip-combinations
           Do not apply combinations; ignore combinations file or option.
       ·   --skip-rpl
           Skip replication test cases.
       ·   --skip-ssl
           Do not start mysqld with support for SSL connections.
       ·   --skip-test=regex|regex
           Specify a regular expression to be applied to test case names.
           Cases with names that match the expression are skipped. tests to
           skip.
           The argument for the --skip-test option allows more flexible
           specification of which tests to skip. If the argument contains a
           pattern metacharacter other than a lone period, it is interpreted
           as a Perl regular expression and applies to test names that match
           the pattern. See the description of the --do-test option for
           details.
       ·   --skip-test-list=FILE
           Skip the tests listed in FILE. Each line in the file is an entry
           and should be formatted as: <TESTNAME> : <COMMENT>
       ·   --skip-*
           --skip-* options not otherwise recognized by mysql-test-run.pl
           are passed to the master server.
       ·   --sleep=N
           Pass --sleep=N to mysqltest.
       ·   --sp-protocol
           Create a stored procedure to execute all queries.
       ·   --ssl
           If mysql-test-run.pl is started with the --ssl option, it sets up
           a secure connection for all test cases. In this case, if mysqld
           does not support SSL, mysql-test-run.pl exits with an error
           message: Couldn´t find support for SSL
       ·   --staging-run
           Run a limited number of tests (no slow tests). Used for running
           staging trees with valgrind.
       ·   --start
           Initialize and start servers with the startup settings for the
           specified test case. You can use this option to start a server to
           which you can connect later. For example, after building a source
           distribution you can start a server and connect to it with the
           mysql client like this:
               shell> cd mysql-test
               shell> ./mysql-test-run.pl --start alias &
               shell> ../mysql -S ./var/tmp/master.sock -h localhost -u root
           If no tests are named on the command line, the server(s) will be
           started with settings for the first test that would have been run
           without the --start option.
           mysql-test-run.pl will stop once the server has been started, but
           will terminate if the server dies. If killed, it will also shut
           down the server.
       ·   --start-and-exit
           Same --start, but mysql-test-run terminates and leaves just the
           server running.
       ·   --start-dirty
           This is similar to --start, but will skip the database
           initialization phase and assume that database files are already
           available. Usually this means you must have run another test
           first.
       ·   --start-from=test_name
           mysql-test-run.pl sorts the list of names of the test cases to be
           run, and then begins with test_name.
       ·   --strace
           Run the "mysqld" executables using strace. Default options are -f
           -o var/log/'mysqld-name'.strace.
       ·   --strace-client
           Create strace output for mysqltest, optionally specifying name
           and path to the trace program to use.
           Example: ./mysql-test-run.pl --strace-client=ktrace
       ·   --strace-option=ARGS
           Option to give strace, replaces default option(s).
       ·   --stress=ARGS
           Run stress test, providing options to mysql-stress-test.pl.
           Options are separated by comma.
       ·   --suite[s]=suite_name...
           Comma separated list of suite names to run. The default is:
           "main-,archive-,binlog-,csv-,federated-,funcs_1-,funcs_2-,handler-,heap-,innodb-,innodb_fts-,
           innodb_zip-,maria-,multi_source-,optimizer_unfixed_bugs-,parts-,percona-,perfschema-,
           plugins-,roles-,rpl-,sys_vars-,unit-,vcol-".
       ·   --stop-file=file
           If this file is detected, mysqltest will not start new tests
           until the file is removed (also MTR_STOP_FILE environment
           variable).
       ·   --stop-keep-alive=sec
           Works with --stop-file, print messages every sec seconds when
           mysqltest is waiting to remove the file (for buildbot) (also
           MTR_STOP_KEEP_ALIVE environment variable).
       ·   --suite-timeout=minutes
           Specify the maximum test suite runtime in minutes. The default is
           360.
       ·   --testcase-timeout
           Specify the maximum test case runtime in minutes. The default is
           15.
       ·   --timediff
           Used with --timestamp, also print time passed since the previous
           test started.
       ·   --timer
           Cause mysqltest to generate a timing file. The default file is
           named ./var/log/timer.
       ·   --timestamp
           Prints a timestamp before the test case name in each test report
           line, showing when the test ended.
       ·   --tmpdir=path
           The directory where temporary file are stored. The default
           location is ./var/tmp. The environment variable MYSQL_TMP_DIR
           will be set to the path for this directory, whether it has the
           default value or has been set explicitly. This may be referred to
           in tests.
       ·   --user=user_name
           The MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server
           (default root).
       ·   --user-args
           In combination with start* and no test name, drops arguments to
           mysqld except those specified with --mysqld (if any).
       ·   --valgrind[-all]
           Run mysqltest and mysqld with valgrind. This and the following
           --valgrind options require that the executables have been built
           with valgrind support.
       ·   --valgrind-mysqld
           Run the mysqld server with valgrind.
       ·   --valgrind-mysqltest
           Run the mysqltest and mysql_client_test executables with
           valgrind.
       ·   --valgrind-option=str
           Option to give valgrind. Replaces default option(s). Can be
           specified more then once&.
       ·   --valgrind-path=path
           Path to the valgrind executable.
       ·   --vardir=path
           Specify the path where files generated during the test run are
           stored. The default location is ./var. The environment variable
           MYSQLTEST_VARDIR will be set to the path for this directory,
           whether it has the default value or has been set explicitly. This
           may be referred to in tests.
       ·   --verbose
           Give more verbose output regarding test execution. Use the option
           twice to get even more output. Note that the output generated
           within each test case is not affected.
       ·   --verbose-restart
           Write when and why servers are restarted between test cases.
       ·   --view-protocol
           Create a view to execute all non updating queries.
       ·   --vs-config=config_val
           Visual Studio configuration used to create executables (default:
           MTR_VS_CONFIG environment variable) This option is for Windows
           only.
       ·   --wait-all
           If --start or --start-dirty is used, wait for all servers to exit
           before termination. Otherwise, it will terminate if one (of
           several) servers is restarted.
       ·   --warnings
           Search the server log for errors or warning after each test and
           report any suspicious ones; if any are found, the test will be
           marked as failed. This is the default behavior, it may be turned
           off with --nowarnings.
