How to test MogileFS -------------------- Automated tests =============== $ perl Makefile.PL $ MOGTEST_DBTYPE= make test Where dbtype is one of MySQL (default), PostGres. You should get output similar to the following on success: ... All tests successful, 1 test skipped. Files=10, Tests=160, 31 wallclock secs ( 6.22 cusr + 3.39 csys = 9.61 CPU) The only test that should be skipped is t/20-filepaths. If you get other tests being skipped, something is wrong! The automated testing makes the assumption that the database can be accessed as the default local DB administrator without a password. The relevant line of the follow can be used to test if this assumption is valid: $ mysql -uroot OR $ psql -Upostgres Manual tests ============ If you only want to run some part of the testsuite, or you want detailed output as to why a test failed, you can run as follows: $ MOGTEST_DBTYPE= perl -Ilib t/.t Where dbtype is one of MySQL (default), PostGres. Where foobar is one of the *.t files from t/.
