This patch excludes freebsd, osx and generic targets for this vtc.
Basic tcp checks performed by haproxy on a linux system leverage the
TCP_QUICKACK option which implies that the connection is never
established from the perspective of the backend server. On other systems
a regular tcp 3 way handshake is performed immediately followed by a
reset, which from the perspective of the server is an aborted connection.
When we run this regtest on FreeBSD (or anything other than linux) there
is a race condition in the server_thread() function of the vtc_server.c
file. If we receive the reset when we are in accept() then fd is -1 and
vtest calls vtc_fatal, failing the test.
Other checks specific reg-tests were excluded on FreeBSD, osx and
generic for the same reason, but were at the time documented as being
disabled because they used TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT. These commits are
15685c791 ("REGTEST: Exclude freebsd target for some reg tests") and
03c6ab0cb ("REGTEST: exclude osx and generic targets for
40be_2srv_odd_health_checks")
* Regression testing for HAProxy with VTest *
This little README file is about how to compile and run vtest test case files (VTC files)
to test HAProxy for any regression.
To do so, you will have to compile vtest program sources which depends on
Varnish cache application sources. vtest, formerly varnishtest, is a very useful
program which has been developed to test Varnish cache application. vtest has been
modified in collaboration with Varnish cache conceptor Poul-Henning Kamp to support
HAProxy in addition to Varnish cache.
See also: doc/regression-testing.txt
* vtest compilation *
$ git clone https://github.com/vtest/VTest
$ cd VTest
$ make vtest
Then vtest program may be found at the root directory of vtest sources directory.
The Varnish cache manuals are located in 'man' directory of Varnish cache sources
directory. You will have to have a look at varnishtest(7) and vtc(7) manuals to
use vtest.
Some information may also be found in doc/regression-testing.txt in HAProxy
sources.
Note that VTC files for Varnish cache may be found in bin/varnishtest/tests directory
of Varnish cache sources directory which may be found here:
https://github.com/varnishcache/varnish-cache
* vtest execution *
You must set HAPROXY_PROGRAM environment variable to give the location
of the HAProxy program to test to vtest:
$ HAPROXY_PROGRAM=<my haproxy program> vtest [-Dno-htx=] ...
The HAProxy VTC files found in HAProxy sources may be run with the reg-tests
Makefile target. You must set the VTEST_PROGRAM environment variable to
give the location of the vtest program which has been previously compiled.
$ VTEST_PROGRAM=<my vtest program> make reg-tests
"reg-tests" Makefile target run scripts/run-regtest.sh script.
To get more information about this script run it with --help option.
Note that vtest is run with -t10 and -l option. -l option is to keep
keep vtest temporary directory in case of failed test cases. core files
may be found in this directory (if enabled by ulimit).
* vtest patches for HAProxy VTC files *
When producing a patch to add a VTC regression testing file to reg-tests directory,
please follow these simple rules:
- If your VTC file needs others files, if possible, use the same basename as that
of the VTC file,
- Put these files in a directory with the same name as the code area concerned
by the bug ('peers', 'lua', 'acl' etc).
