15 The mysqltest program runs a test case against a MariaDB server and
16 optionally compares the output with a result file. This program reads
17 input written in a special test language. Typically, you invoke
18 mysqltest via mysql-test-run.pl rather than invoking it directly.
19 mysqltest_embedded is similar but is built with support for the
21 libmysqld embedded server.
22 Features of mysqltest:
24 · Can send SQL statements to MariaDB servers for execution
26 · Can execute external shell commands
28 · Can test whether the result from an SQL statement or shell command
30 is as expected
31 · Can connect to one or more standalone mysqld servers and switch
33 between connections
34 · Can connect to an embedded server (libmysqld), if MariaDB is
36 compiled with support for libmysqld. (In this case, the executable
37 is named mysqltest_embedded rather than mysqltest.)
38 By default, mysqltest reads the test case on the standard input. To run
40 mysqltest this way, you normally invoke it like this:
41 shell> mysqltest [options] [db_name] < test_file
43 You can also name the test case file with a --test-file=file_name
45 option.
46 The exit value from mysqltest is 0 for success, 1 for failure, and 62
48 if it skips the test case (for example, if after checking some
49 preconditions it decides not to run the test).
50 mysqltest supports the following options:
52 · --help, -?
54 Display a help message and exit.
56 · --basedir=dir_name, -b dir_name
58 The base directory for tests.
60 · --character-sets-dir=path
62 The directory where character sets are installed.
64 · --compress, -C
66 Compress all information sent between the client and the server if
68 both support compression.
69 · --connect-timeout=num
71 This can be used to set the MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT parameter of
73 mysql_options to change the number of seconds before an
74 unsuccessful connection attempt times out.
75 · --continue-on-error
77 Continue test even if we got an error. This is mostly useful when
79 testing a storage engine to see what from a test file it can
80 execute, or to find all syntax errors in a newly created big test
81 file.
82 · --cursor-protocol
84 Use cursors for prepared statements.
86 · --database=db_name, -D db_name
88 The default database to use.
90 · --debug[=debug_options], -#[debug_options]
92 Write a debugging log if MariaDB is built with debugging support.
94 The default debug_options value is
95 ´d:t:S:i:O,/tmp/mysqltest.trace´.
96 · --debug-check
98 Print some debugging information when the program exits.
100 · --debug-info
102 Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics
104 when the program exits.
105 · --host=host_name, -h host_name
107 Connect to the MariaDB server on the given host.
109 · --logdir=dir_name
111 The directory to use for log files.
113 · --mark-progress
115 Write the line number and elapsed time to test_file.progress.
117 · --max-connect-retries=num
119 The maximum number of connection attempts when connecting to
121 server.
122 · --max-connections=num
124 The maximum number of simultaneous server connections per client
126 (that is, per test). If not set, the maximum is 128. Minimum
127 allowed limit is 8, maximum is 5120.
128 · --no-defaults
130 Do not read default options from any option files. If used, this
132 must be the first option.
133 · --non-blocking-api
135 Use the non-blocking client API for communication.
137 · --overlay-dir=dir_name
139 Overlay directory.
141 · --password[=password], -p[password]
143 The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the
145 short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option
146 and the password. If you omit the password value following the
147 --password or -p option on the command line, you are prompted for
148 one.
149 · --plugin-dir=dir_name
151 Directory for client-side plugins.
153 · --port=port_num, -P port_num
155 The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection or 0 for default
157 to, in order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_TCP_PORT, /etc/services,
158 built-in default (3306).
159 · --prologue=name
161 Include the contents of the given file before processing the
163 contents of the test file. The included file should have the same
164 format as other mysqltest test files. This option has the same
165 effect as putting a --source file_name command as the first line of
166 the test file.
167 · --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}
169 The connection protocol to use for connecting to the server. It is
171 useful when the other connection parameters normally would cause a
172 protocol to be used other than the one you want.
173 · --ps-protocol
175 Use the prepared-statement protocol for communication.
177 · --quiet
179 Suppress all normal output. This is a synonym for --silent.
181 · --record, -r
183 Record the output that results from running the test file into the
185 file named by the --result-file option, if that option is given. It
186 is an error to use this option without also using --result-file.
187 · --result-file=file_name, -R file_name
189 This option specifies the file for test case expected results.
191 --result-file, together with --record, determines how mysqltest
192 treats the test actual and expected results for a test case:
193 · If the test produces no results, mysqltest exits with an error
195 message to that effect, unless --result-file is given and the
196 named file is an empty file.
197 · Otherwise, if --result-file is not given, mysqltest sends test
199 results to the standard output.
200 · With --result-file but not --record, mysqltest reads the
202 expected results from the given file and compares them with the
203 actual results. If the results do not match, mysqltest writes a
204 .reject file in the same directory as the result file, outputs
205 a diff of the two files, and exits with an error.
206 · With both --result-file and --record, mysqltest updates the
208 given file by writing the actual test results to it.
209 · --result-format-version=#
211 Version of the result file format to use.
213 · --server-arg=value, -A value
215 Pass the argument as an argument to the embedded server. For
217 example, --server-arg=--tmpdir=/tmp or --server-arg=--core. Up to
218 64 arguments can be given.
219 · --server-file=file_name, -F file_name
221 Read arguments for the embedded server from the given file. The
223 file should contain one argument per line.
224 · --silent, -s
226 Suppress all normal output.
228 · --sleep=num, -T num
230 Cause all sleep commands in the test case file to sleep num
232 seconds. This option does not affect real_sleep commands.
233 An option value of 0 can be used, which effectively disables sleep
235 commands in the test case.
236 · --socket=path, -S path
238 The socket file to use when connecting to localhost (which is the
240 default host).
241 · --sp-protocol
243 Execute DML statements within a stored procedure. For every DML
245 statement, mysqltest creates and invokes a stored procedure that
246 executes the statement rather than executing the statement
247 directly.
248 · --ssl
250 Enable SSL for connection (automatically enabled with other flags).
252 Disable with --skip-ssl.
253 · --ssl-ca=name
255 CA file in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
257 · --ssl-capath=name
259 CA directory (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
261 · --ssl-cert=name
263 X509 cert in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
265 · --ssl-cipher=name
267 SSL cipher to use (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
269 · --ssl-key=name
271 X509 key in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
273 · --ssl-crl=name
275 Certificate revocation list (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl).
277 · --ssl-crlpath=name
279 Certificate revocation list path (check OpenSSL docs, implies
281 --ssl).
282 · --ssl-verify-server-cert
284 Verify server's "Common Name" in its cert against hostname used
286 when connecting. This option is disabled by default.
287 · --suite-dir=dir_name
289 Suite directory.
291 · --tail-lines=nn
293 Specify how many lines of the result to include in the output if
295 the test fails because an SQL statement fails. The default is 0,
296 meaning no lines of result printed.
297 · --test-file=file_name, -x file_name
299 Read test input from this file. The default is to read from the
301 standard input.
302 · --timer-file=file_name, -m file_name
304 If given, the number of microseconds spent running the test will be
306 written to this file. This is used by mysql-test-run.pl for its
307 reporting.
308 · --tmpdir=dir_name, -t dir_name
310 The temporary directory where socket files are created.
312 · --user=user_name, -u user_name
314 The MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server.
316 · --verbose, -v
318 Verbose mode. Print out more information about what the program
320 does.
321 · --version, -V
323 Display version information and exit.
325 · --view-protocol
327 Every SELECT statement is wrapped inside a view.
