Changes for version 0.22 - 2013-06-10

  • feature: added new sections --- abort and --- shutdown to test premature client abortions.
  • feature: implemented new section "--- raw_response_headers_unlike".
  • feature: added support for custom http_config filters for subclasses.
  • feature: now we automatically check [alert] and [crit] messages in the nginx error logs and print them as warnings if they do not appear in either --- error_log or --- no_error_log.
  • feature: added new section "--- stap_out_unlike" for testing patterns which should not appear in the output systemtap.
  • feature: added support for the special notation "$LIBPCRE_PATH" within --- stap, which is always substituted by the absolute path to libpcre used by the current nginx.
  • feature: now we check if the nginx process is gone in the "check leak" testing mode (i.e., when TEST_NGINX_CHECK_LEAK=1).
  • feature: added new section "--- skip_eval: <subtest-count> <perl-code>" for skipping tests according to the running result of a piece of Perl code.
  • feature: now we allow a (unix domain) socket file path specified in the "--- udp_listen" directive value.
  • feature: in --- stap values, now we support the notation "F(func@file)".
  • feature: made the environment TEST_NGINX_SERVER_PORT always take the value so that the test cases can always reference it.
  • feature: added new section "--- wait" to always wait a specified amount of time before checking the systemtap outputs and/or error logs (if any).
  • bugfix: no longer retry connecting to the nginx server when the child process running nginx is already gone.
  • bugfix: no longer bail out the up to 3 test cases fail all their connecting attempts.
  • bugfix: TEST_NGINX_USE_HUP=1 could not work with TEST_NGINX_NO_CLEAN=1.
  • bugfix: the output of systemtap took the value undef when it was in fact empty.
  • bugfix: protect against division by zero in the "check leak" testing mode.
  • bugfix: disabled the test report ending when failing to parse chunked response body because the test count is surely out of sync.
  • bugfix: the code that searches executables in the PATH environment would always look up the current working directory first and might pick up an executable directory with the same name.
  • bugfix: conflicting testing modes may conflict together.
  • bugfix: added File::Path 2.06_05 as a minimum requirement. thanks Andreas J. König for reporting this issue.
  • bugfix: pass --show-possibly-lost=no to valgrind by default because nginx makes clever use of pointers almost everywhere.
  • bugfix: when --- abort was not specified, http client timeout was not treated as a subtest failure as specified.
  • bugfix: the child process running ab or weighttp might not be reaped in extreme conditions.
  • bugfix: we did not close STDOUT and STDERR in the child processes forked, which could confuse the "prove" harness and lead to hang.
  • optimize: disabled the access log altogether in the "check leak" testing mode.
  • docs: documented the TEST_NGINX_NO_CLEAN environment.
  • docs: fixed a small issue in the code sample. thanks smallfish.
