Relevant Source code directories and Notes
- mysql-test- test suite for the MySQL daemon. Uses Perl script to run tests using a pre-defined framework and test language
- To run the tests in this test-suite, go to mysql-test and run the 'mysql-test-run.pl' script
- 'make test' also does the above after running the tests in 'unittest'
- tests- C & perl scripts to perform various client -like tasks- uses libmysql (C lib) Perl API respectively (mainly tests features which are not possible via above)
- No where in the top-level Makefile is the 'tests' directory mentioned
- what is the 'mysql_client_test.c' doing?
- mysql_client_test- shell script wrapper for .libs/mysql_client_test
- the other tests- Perl scripts + c binaries can be executed independently; binaries are copied to .libs directory under 'tests'
- 'make install' in tests shows the following:
- :"/home/as227057/dev-tools/mysql-5.1.25-rc/tests" 104 $ make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/as227057/dev-tools/mysql-5.1.25-rc/tests'
test -z "/home/as227057/mysql-linux/bin" || mkdir -p -- "/home/as227057/mysql-linux/bin"
/bin/sh ../libtool --preserve-dup-deps --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 'mysql_client_test' '/home/as227057/mysql-linux/bin/mysql_client_test'
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/mysql_client_test /home/as227057/mysql-linux/bin/mysql_client_test
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/as227057/dev-tools/mysql-5.1.25-rc/tests' - As is apparent, 'make install' installs the 'mysql_client_test' wrapper script in the bin/ directory which can be executed as before
- http://lists.mysql.com/internals/35865
- unittest- contains the implementation of the MyTAP library and some example tests using MyTAP- no MySQL relevant tests
- make test-unit
- new tests can be inserted and run by adding relevant info in Makefile.am
- http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest/en/test-framework-components.html
- Top-level Makefile
