NAME¶
mysqltest - program to run test casesSYNOPSIS¶
mysqltest [options]
[db_name ]
mysqltest_embedded [options]
[ db_name]
DESCRIPTION¶
The mysqltest program runs a test case against a MySQL server and optionally compares the output with a result file. This program reads input written in a special test language. Typically, you invoke mysqltest using mysql-test-run.pl rather than invoking it directly. mysqltest_embedded is similar but is built with support for the libmysqld embedded server. Features of mysqltest:•Can send SQL statements to MySQL servers for
execution
•Can execute external shell commands
•Can test whether the result from an SQL statement
or shell command is as expected
•Can connect to one or more standalone
mysqld servers and switch between connections
•Can connect to an embedded server (libmysqld), if
MySQL is compiled with support for libmysqld. (In this case, the executable is
named mysqltest_embedded rather than mysqltest.)
By default, mysqltest reads the test case on the standard input. To run
mysqltest this way, you normally invoke it like this:
shell> mysqltest [options] [db_name] < test_file
•--help, -?
Display a help message and exit.
•--basedir=dir_name, -b
dir_name
The base directory for tests.
•--character-sets-dir=path
The directory where character sets are installed.
•--compress, -C
Compress all information sent between the client and the server if both support
compression.
•--cursor-protocol
Use cursors for prepared statements.
•--database=db_name, -D
db_name
The default database to use.
•--debug[=debug_options],
-#[debug_options]
Write a debugging log if MySQL is built with debugging support. The default
debug_options value is 'd:t:S:i:O,/tmp/mysqltest.trace'.
•--debug-check
Print some debugging information when the program exits.
•--debug-info
Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics when the program
exits.
•--explain-protocol,
Run EXPLAIN EXTENDED on all SELECT, INSERT, REPLACE, UPDATE and DELETE
queries.
•--host=host_name, -h
host_name
Connect to the MySQL server on the given host.
•--include=file_name, -i
file_name
Include the contents of the given file before processing the contents of the
test file. The included file should have the same format as other
mysqltest test files. This option has the same effect as putting a
--source file_name command as the first line of the test file.
•--json-explain-protocol,
Run EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON on all SELECT, INSERT, REPLACE, UPDATE and DELETE
queries. The json-explain-protocol option is available from MySQL 5.6.
•--logdir=dir_name
The directory to use for log files.
•--mark-progress
Write the line number and elapsed time to test_file.progress.
•--max-connect-retries=num
The maximum number of connection attempts when connecting to server.
•--max-connections=num
The maximum number of simultaneous server connections per client (that is, per
test). If not set, the maximum is 128. Minimum allowed limit is 8, maximum is
5120.
•--no-defaults
Do not read default options from any option files. If used, this must be the
first option.
•--plugin-dir=path
The directory in which to look for plugins. It may be necessary to specify this
option if the default_auth argument is used for the connect() command
to specify an authentication plugin but mysqltest does not find it.
This option was added in MySQL 5.5.7.
•--password[=password],
-p[password]
The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option
form ( -p), you cannot have a space between the option and the
password. If you omit the password value following the
--password or -p option on the command line, you are prompted
for one.
•--port=port_num, -P
port_num
The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
•--protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}
Choose the protocol for communication with the server. SOCKET is default.
The --protocol option is ignored if running with the embedded
server.
•--ps-protocol
Use the prepared-statement protocol for communication.
•--quiet
Suppress all normal output. This is a synonym for --silent.
•--record, -r
Record the output that results from running the test file into the file named by
the --result-file option, if that option is given. It is an error to
use this option without also using --result-file.
•--result-file=file_name,
-R file_name
This option specifies the file for test case expected results.
--result-file, together with --record, determines how
mysqltest treats the test actual and expected results for a test case:
•If the test produces no results, mysqltest
exits with an error message to that effect, unless --result-file is
given and the named file is an empty file.
•Otherwise, if --result-file is not given,
mysqltest sends test results to the standard output.
•With --result-file but not
--record, mysqltest reads the expected results from the given
file and compares them with the actual results. If the results do not match,
mysqltest writes a .reject file in the same directory as the result
file, outputs a diff of the two files, and exits with an error.
•With both --result-file and
--record, mysqltest updates the given file by writing the actual
test results to it.
•--server-arg=value, -A
value
Pass the argument as an argument to the embedded server. For example,
--server-arg=--tmpdir=/tmp or --server-arg=--core. Up to 64
arguments can be given.
•--server-file=file_name,
-F file_name
Read arguments for the embedded server from the given file. The file should
contain one argument per line.
•--server-public-key-path=file_name
The path name to a file containing the server RSA public key. The file must be
in PEM format. The public key is used for RSA encryption of the client
password for connections to the server made using accounts that authenticate
with the sha256_password plugin. This option is ignored for client accounts
that do not authenticate with that plugin. It is also ignored if password
encryption is not needed, as is the case when the client connects to the
server using an SSL connection.
The server sends the public key to the client as needed, so it is not necessary
to use this option for RSA password encryption to occur. It is more efficient
to do so because then the server need not send the key.
For additional discussion regarding use of the sha256_password plugin, including
how to get the RSA public key, see The SHA-256 Authentication
Plugin[1].
This option is available only if MySQL was built using OpenSSL. It was added in
MySQL 5.6.6 under the name --server-public-key and renamed in 5.6.7 to
--server-public-key-path.
•--silent, -s
Suppress all normal output.
•--skip-safemalloc
Do not use memory allocation checking.
•--sleep=num, -T
num
Cause all sleep commands in the test case file to sleep num seconds. This
option does not affect real_sleep commands.
An option value of 0 can also be used, which effectively disables sleep commands
in the test case.
•--socket=path, -S
path
The socket file to use when connecting to localhost (which is the default
host).
•--sp-protocol
Execute DML statements within a stored procedure. For every DML statement,
mysqltest creates and invokes a stored procedure that executes the
statement rather than executing the statement directly.
•--tail-lines=nn
Specify how many lines of the result to include in the output if the test fails
because an SQL statement fails. The default is 0, meaning no lines of result
printed.
•--test-file=file_name, -x
file_name
Read test input from this file. The default is to read from the standard
input.
•--timer-file=file_name,
-m file_name
If given, the number of millisecond spent running the test will be written to
this file. This is used by mysql-test-run.pl for its reporting.
•--tls-version=protocol_list
The protocols permitted by the client for encrypted connections. The value is a
comma-separated list containing one or more of these protocols: TLSv1,
TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2. (TLSv1.2 is supported only if MySQL was compiled using
OpenSSL 1.0.1 or higher. It is not supported if MySQL was compiled using
yaSSL.)
This option was added in MySQL 5.7.10.
•--tmpdir=dir_name, -t
dir_name
The temporary directory where socket files are created.
•--trace-exec
If enabled, this option causes mysqltest to immediately display the
output from executed programs to stdout.
This option was added in MySQL 5.8.0.
•--user=user_name, -u
user_name
The MySQL user name to use when connecting to the server.
•--verbose, -v
Verbose mode. Print out more information about what the program does.
•--version, -V
Display version information and exit.
•--view-protocol
Every SELECT statement is wrapped inside a view.
