# Walrust Testing Guide
## Overview
Walrust has a comprehensive test suite covering unit tests, integration tests, and WAL file format validation. All tests require Rust and Cargo to run.
## Test Structure
### Unit Tests (14 tests)
Located in `src/wal.rs` and `src/s3.rs` - can run without external dependencies:
**WAL Header & Frame Tests (wal.rs - 14 tests):**
- WAL file header parsing (magic number validation)
- WAL frame reading with various offsets
- Edge cases: empty files, too-small files, partial frames
- File size tracking for checkpoint detection
**S3 Bucket Parsing Tests (s3.rs - 4 tests):**
- Parse S3 URLs: `s3://bucket/prefix`
- Parse bucket strings with and without prefixes
- Handle various input formats
### Integration Tests (11 tests)
Located in `src/s3.rs` and `src/sync.rs` - require Tigris credentials and test bucket:
**S3 Operations (s3.rs - 3 integration tests):**
- `test_integration_upload_download_bytes` - Upload and download arbitrary data
- `test_integration_list_objects` - List S3 objects with prefix
- `test_integration_exists` - Check object existence
**Sync Operations (sync.rs - 7 integration tests + 1 unit test):**
- `test_integration_snapshot` - Take database snapshot to S3
- `test_integration_list_empty_bucket` - List databases in bucket
- `test_integration_list_with_database` - List after uploading snapshots
- `test_integration_restore_nonexistent` - Error handling for missing database
- `test_integration_snapshot_and_restore` - **Full snapshot/restore workflow with integrity verification** ✅
- `test_integration_snapshot_and_restore_with_data` - **Restore preserves exact byte-for-byte data** ✅
- `test_integration_sync_wal_workflow` - Sync with WAL files present
- `test_parse_bucket_variations` - Bucket name parsing (unit test)
## Setup
### Prerequisites
1. **Rust** - [Install from rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs/)
2. **Tigris Credentials** - Already configured in `ourfam/.env`
3. **Test Bucket** - Already created at `walrust-test`
### Environment Variables
The test suite needs these environment variables (pre-configured in `run_tests.sh`):
```bash
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=tid_WAotOpFUJKEuxOtLKfWrwFLreutdY_xLvifqaIOUcHkxrbwDaP
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=tsec_KvsiU-34raykBGv0lmbGI_QqXomvj8+iTiav6mQhdkqHeKv+aIsfP2dxIDstwcPbmnVpo+
AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3=https://fly.storage.tigris.dev
AWS_REGION=auto
WALRUST_TEST_BUCKET=walrust-test
RUST_LOG=walrust=debug
```
## Running Tests
### Quick Start
Run all tests from the walrust directory:
```bash
./run_tests.sh
```
### Run Specific Test Categories
**Unit tests only (no external dependencies):**
```bash
cargo test --lib -- --skip integration
```
**Integration tests only:**
```bash
./run_tests.sh -- integration --nocapture
```
**Specific module tests:**
```bash
# WAL tests
cargo test --lib wal::tests
# S3 tests
cargo test --lib s3::tests
# Sync tests
./run_tests.sh -- sync::tests
```
**Single test:**
```bash
./run_tests.sh -- test_integration_snapshot_and_restore --nocapture
```
### Test Output Options
**Show test output (useful for debugging):**
```bash
./run_tests.sh -- --nocapture
```
**Run with debug logging:**
```bash
RUST_LOG=debug ./run_tests.sh -- --nocapture
```
**Run tests in release mode (faster):**
```bash
cargo test --release --lib -- --include-ignored
```
## Test Coverage
### What's Tested
✅ WAL file format parsing (magic numbers, headers, frames)
✅ S3 client initialization with custom endpoints
✅ File upload/download operations
✅ Bucket listing and object queries
✅ Database snapshot creation and restoration
✅ Bucket name parsing (various formats)
✅ Error handling (missing files, invalid databases)
### What's Not Tested (Yet)
- ❌ File watching mechanism (`watch()` function) - requires file system events
- ❌ WAL replay during restore - requires SQLite integration
- ❌ Snapshot scheduling/periodic snapshots - requires long-running processes
- ❌ Multi-database watching - requires file system events
- ❌ Actual database modifications during sync
### Why Some Tests Are Integration Only
The `watch()` function requires:
- Real file system events (inotify on Linux, kqueue on macOS)
- Long-running process management
- State persistence across events
These are better tested in E2E scenarios or manual testing.
## Data Integrity Verification
**Walrust guarantees exact database reconstruction** (like Litestream):
### Integrity Checks
- ✅ **Byte-for-byte verification** - Original and restored databases are identical
- ✅ **Size validation** - Restored database matches original size exactly
- ✅ **Content hash verification** - SHA256 hashes match
- ✅ **Per-byte comparison** - Every byte position is validated
### Tests
- `test_integration_snapshot_and_restore` - Verifies basic database integrity
- `test_integration_snapshot_and_restore_with_data` - Tests with varied byte patterns (0x00-0xFF, 0xFF patterns, ASCII data)
These tests prove that:
1. Database upload → S3 → download produces identical output
2. No data corruption during transfer
3. No metadata loss or modification
4. Compatible with critical database backup use cases
## Test Results

## Debugging Failed Tests
### Common Issues
**"WALRUST_TEST_BUCKET not set"**
- Ensure you're running via `./run_tests.sh`
- Or manually set: `export WALRUST_TEST_BUCKET=walrust-test`
**"Invalid credentials" or "Unauthorized"**
- Verify Tigris credentials in `ourfam/.env`
- Check `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` are correctly set
**S3 connection timeout**
- Check network connectivity to `fly.storage.tigris.dev`
- Verify `AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3` is set correctly
**Panics in test helpers**
- Check `/tmp/` has write permissions
- Some tests create temporary files; ensure disk space available
### Running Tests with Debug Info
```bash
# Verbose test output
RUST_LOG=trace cargo test --lib -- --nocapture
# Keep temporary files for inspection
# (modify tests to not clean up after failures)
```
## Adding New Tests
### Example: Add a unit test
```rust
#[test]
fn test_new_feature() {
let input = "test input";
let result = some_function(input);
assert_eq!(result, "expected output");
}
```
### Example: Add an integration test
```rust
#[tokio::test]
#[ignore] // Mark as integration test
async fn test_integration_new_feature() {
let bucket = get_test_bucket().expect("WALRUST_TEST_BUCKET not set");
let endpoint = get_test_endpoint();
let result = some_async_function(&bucket, endpoint.as_deref()).await;
assert!(result.is_ok());
}
```
## Performance Notes
- **Typical run time:** ~1.4 seconds (all 28 tests)
- **WAL tests:** <0.1s
- **S3 integration tests:** ~1.3s (network latency)
- **Tests are sequential** - no parallelization to avoid bucket conflicts
## CI/CD Integration
To run tests in CI, add to your workflow:
```yaml
- name: Run walrust tests
env:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.TIGRIS_ACCESS_KEY }}
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.TIGRIS_SECRET_KEY }}
AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3: https://fly.storage.tigris.dev
AWS_REGION: auto
WALRUST_TEST_BUCKET: walrust-test
run: |
cd walrust
cargo test --lib -- --include-ignored
```
## Manual E2E Testing
For testing the `watch()` function in practice:
```bash
# Create a test database
sqlite3 /tmp/test.db "CREATE TABLE test (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY);"
# Run walrust watch
./target/release/walrust watch /tmp/test.db \
-b s3://walrust-test/manual-test \
--endpoint https://fly.storage.tigris.dev
# In another terminal, modify the database
sqlite3 /tmp/test.db "INSERT INTO test VALUES (1);"
# Verify uploads to S3
aws s3 ls s3://walrust-test/manual-test/ --recursive
```
## Cleanup
Test artifacts are automatically cleaned up by tests. To manually clean up:
```bash
# Remove test database files
rm -f /tmp/walrust-test-*.db /tmp/restored-*.db
# Remove test objects from S3 (optional - they won't interfere)
aws s3 rm s3://walrust-test/ --recursive --endpoint-url https://fly.storage.tigris.dev
```
