Hi Hackers,
Inside the test script `src/test/recovery/t/001_stream_rep.pl`, a
comment at line 30 says `my_backup` is "not mandatory",
30 # Take backup of standby 1 (not mandatory, but useful to check if
31 # pg_basebackup works on a standby).
32 $node_standby_1->backup($backup_name);
however if remove the backup folder "my_backup" after line 32, something
like below,
33 system_or_bail('rm', '-rf',
'/home/user/postgres/src/test/recovery/tmp_check/t_001_stream_rep_standby_1_data/backup/my_backup');
then the test failed with message like,
recovery$ make check PROVE_TESTS='t/001_stream_rep.pl'
t/001_stream_rep.pl .. # Looks like your test exited with 2 before it
could output anything.
t/001_stream_rep.pl .. Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
Failed 53/53 subtests
... ...
Result: FAIL
Makefile:23: recipe for target 'check' failed
make: *** [check] Error 1
And then the test script takes another backup `my_backup_2`, but it
seems this backup is not used anywhere.
35 # Take a second backup of the standby while the primary is offline.
36 $node_primary->stop;
37 $node_standby_1->backup('my_backup_2');
38 $node_primary->start;
because, if I deleted the backup "my_backup_2" right after line 38 with
something like below,
39 system_or_bail('rm', '-rf',
'/home/user/postgres/src/test/recovery/tmp_check/t_001_stream_rep_standby_1_data/backup/my_backup_2');
there is no impact on the test result, and it says all test cases passed.
recovery$ make check PROVE_TESTS='t/001_stream_rep.pl'
...
t/001_stream_rep.pl .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=53, 6 wallclock secs ( 0.01 usr 0.01 sys + 1.00 cusr
0.82 csys = 1.84 CPU)
Result: PASS
Did I misunderstand something here?
Thank you,
