List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/228717 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=e89a8fb1ed54164f1004cf39514c --e89a8fb1ed54164f1004cf39514c Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi, all, I wanna test my running MySQL server. According to the README in the "mysql-test" directory, "If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests, use the --extern option to mysql-test-run". For example, mysql-test-run --extern alias But the README also pointed out that "some tests cannot run with an external server". My question is how to know which test suites in "t" directory are valid for --extern option? Without knowing this, I cannot judge whether a test fails is because it's not supported or "real" problems. Thanks a lot!
