Running mysqltest by obd.sh

When using obd.sh to run the mysqltest test, you need to use the OceanBase seekdb database deployed through obd.sh. This article uses examples to introduce how to use obd.sh to deploy the seekdb database and run the mysqltest test starting from compiling the source code.

Background

In order to simplify the operating steps for developers and reduce their understanding costs, we encapsulate some OBD commands into the obd.sh script and store the script in the oceanbase/tools/deploy directory of the seekdb source code. This article runs the mysqltest test by calling the obd test mysqltest commands in OBD.

Concepts

mysqltest is a test in the seekdb database access test. Simply put, it takes the written case file as input and compares the output of the database with the expected output. The cases tested by mysqltest in the seekdb database are all located in the tools/deploy/mysqltest directory of the seekdb source code.

case is the smallest execution unit of mysqltest. A case contains at least one test file and one result file. Classifying cases forms a suite, and a suite is a collection of cases.

Steps

Step 1: Compile OceanBase seekdb database from source code

Please refer to build-and-run to compile the seekdb database from source code.

Step 2: Run mysqltest test

You can choose to test in full or specify a case or suite for testing. For the specific meaning of parameters used when executing the obd.sh script, please refer to Appendix.

• Full test, that is, run all suites in the mysql_test/test_suite directory, please refer to the following command.

  [admin@obtest ~]$ cd oceanbase/tools/deploy
  [admin@obtest deploy]$ ./obd.sh mysqltest -n test --all
  

• Specify case for testing, for example, specify mysql_test/test_suite/alter/t/alter_log_archive_option.test. Please refer to the following command.

  [admin@obtest ~]$ cd oceanbase/tools/deploy
  [admin@obtest deploy]$ ./obd.sh mysqltest -n test --test-dir ./mysql_test/test_suite/alter/t --result-dir ./mysql_test/test_suite/alter/r --test-set alter_log_archive_option
  

• To specify a suite test, for example, to execute a test on a specified suite in the mysql_test/test_suite directory, please refer to the following command.

  [admin@obtest ~]$ cd oceanbase/tools/deploy
  [admin@obtest deploy]$ ./obd.sh mysqltest -n test --suite acs
  

Appendix

When executing the mysqltest test, you can configure some parameters according to the actual situation. The parameters are explained in the following table:

Parameter Name	Required	Type	Default	Note
-n	Y	string	null	The cluster name.
--user	N	string	admin	The username for executing the test, generally does not need to be modified.。
--password	N	string	admin	Password
--database	N	string	test	database
--mysqltest-bin	N	string	/u01/obclient/bin/mysqltest	mysqltest binary file path.
--obclient-bin	N	string	obclient	obclient binary file path.
--test-dir	N	string	./mysql_test/t	The directory where the test-file required by mysqltest is stored. If the test file cannot be found, it will try to find it in the OBD built-in.
--test-file-suffix	N	string	.test	mysqltest 所需的 test-file 的后缀。
--result-dir	N	string	./mysql_test/r	The directory where the result-file required by mysqltest is stored. If the result file is not found, it will try to find it in the OBD built-in.
--result-file-suffix	N	string	.result	The suffix of result-file required by mysqltest.
--record	N	bool	false	Only the execution results of mysqltest are recorded as record-file.
--record-dir	N	string	./record	The directory where the execution results of mysqltest are recorded.
--record-file-suffix	N	string	.record	The suffix that records the execution results of mysqltest.
--tmp-dir	N	string	./tmp	tmpdir option for mysqltest.
--var-dir	N	string	./var	The log directory will be created under this directory and passed to mysqltest as the logdir option.
--test-set	N	string	no	test case array. Use commas (,) to separate multiple cases.
--exclude	N	string	no	The test case array needs to be excluded. Use commas (,) to separate multiple cases.
--test-pattern	N	string	no	The regular expression that test filenames match. All cases matching the expression will override the test-set option.
--suite	N	string	no	suite array. A suite contains multiple tests, which can be separated by commas (,).
--suite-dir	N	string	./mysql_test/test_suite	The directory where the suite directory is stored. If the suite directory is not found, it will try to find it in the OBD built-in.
--all	N	bool	false	Execute all cases under --suite-dir. The directory where the suite directory is stored.
--need-init	N	bool	false	Execute init sql file. A new cluster may need to execute some initialization files before executing mysqltest, such as creating the account and tenant required for the case. The directory where the suite directory is stored. Not enabled by default.
--init-sql-dir	N	string	./	The directory where the init sql file is located. When the sql file is not found, it will try to find it in the OBD built-in.
--init-sql-files	N	string	Default is empty	Array of init sql files to be executed when init is required. English comma (,) separation. If not filled in, if init is required, OBD will execute the built-in init according to the cluster configuration.
--auto-retry	N	bool	false	Automatically redeploy the cluster and try again when it fails.
--psmall	N	bool	false	Execute the case in psmall mode.
--slices	N	int	null	The number of groups into which the cases to be executed will be divided.
--slice-idx	N	int	null	Specify the current group id.
--slb-host	N	string	null	Specify the soft load balancing center.
--exec-id	N	string	null	Specify execution id.
--case-filter	N	string	./mysql_test/filter.py	The filter.py file maintains the cases that need to be filtered.
--reboot-timeout	N	int	0	Restart timeout.
--reboot-retries	N	int	5	Number of retries for failed restarts.
--collect-all	N	bool	false	Whether to collect component logs.
--log-dir	N	string	The default is log under tmp_dir	The log storage path of mysqltest.
--log-pattern	N	string	*.log	Collect log file names matching the regular expression, and the hit files will be collected.
--case-timeout	N	int	3600	mysqltest timeout for a single test.
--disable-reboot	N	bool	false	No more restarts during test execution.
--collect-components	N	string	null	Used to specify the components to be collected for logs. Multiple components are separated by commas (,).
--init-only	N	bool	false	When true, only init SQL is executed.
