This introduces new timeline field latest_gc_cutoff. It is updated
before each gc iteration. New check is added to branch_timelines to
prevent branch creation with start point less than latest_gc_cutoff.
Also this adds a check to get_page_at_lsn which asserts that lsn at
which the page is requested was not garbage collected. This check
currently is triggered for readonly nodes which are pinned to specific
lsn and because they are not tracked in pageserver garbage collection
can remove data that still might be referenced. This is a bug and will
be fixed separately.
* Add yapf run to CircleCI
* Pin yapf version
* Enable `SPLIT_ALL_TOP_LEVEL_COMMA_SEPARATED_VALUES` setting
* Reformat all existing code with slight manual adjustments
* test_runner/README: note that yapf is forced
* Use logging in python tests
* Use f-strings for logs
* Don't log test output while running
* Use only pytest logging handler
* Add more info about pytest logging
* Send ProposerGreeting manually in tests
* Move test_sync_safekeepers to test_wal_acceptor.py
* Capture test_sync_safekeepers output
* Add comment for handle_json_ctrl
* Save captured output in CI
New command has been added to append specially crafted records in safekeeper WAL. This command takes json for append, encodes LogicalMessage based on json fields, and processes new AppendRequest to append and commit WAL in safekeeper.
Python test starts up walkeepers and creates config for walproposer, then appends WAL and checks --sync-safekeepers works without errors. This test is simplest one, more useful test cases (like in #545) for different setups will be added soon.
In this test safekeepers are restarted one by one, while bank transactions
are executed and validated in the background. Bank transactions consist of
balance transfers and log writes. In the end balance sum should remain the
same and there should be progress from every client, when 2 of 3 safekeeper
nodes are up.
Support is done via pytest-xdist plugin.
To use the feature add -n<concurrency> to pytest invocation
e.g. pytest -n8 to run 8 tests in parallel.
Changes in code are mostly about ports assigning. Previously port for
pageserver was hardcoded without the ability to override through zenith
cli and ports for started compute nodes were calculated twice, in zenith
cli and in test code. Now zenith cli supports port arguments for
pageserver and compute nodes to be passed explicitly.
Tests are modified in such a way that each worker gets a non overlapping
port range which can be configured and now contains 100 ports. These
ports are distributed to test services (pageserver, wal acceptors,
compute nodes) so they can work independently.
It's not realistic to enable full-blown type checks
within test_runner's codebase, since the amount of
warnings revealed by mypy is overwhelming.
Tests are supposed to be easy to use, so we can't
cripple everybody's workflow for the sake of imaginary benefit.
Ultimately, the purpose of this attempt is three-fold:
* Facilitate code navigation when paired with python-language-server.
* Make method signatures apparent to a fellow programmer.
* Occasionally catch some obvious type errors.
Use pytest to manage background services, paths, and environment
variables.
Benefits:
- Tests are a little easier to write.
- Cleanup is more reliable. You can CTRL-C a test and it will still shut
down gracefully. If you manually start a conflicting process, the test
fixtures will detect this and abort at startup.
- Don't need to worry about remembering '--test-threads=1'
- Output of sub-processes can be captured to files.
- Test fixtures configure everything to operate under a single test
output directory, making it easier to capture logs in CI.
- Detects all the necessary paths if run from the git root, but can also
run from arbitrary paths by setting environment variables.
There is also a deliberately broken test (test_broken.py) that can be
used to test whether the test fixtures properly clean up after
themselves. It won't run by default; the comment at the top explains how
to enable it.
