This reverts commit8192f45e84. The merge exposed a bug where truncate (via drop) fails and causes Raft errors, leading to schema inconsistencies across nodes. This results in test_table_drop_with_auto_snapshot failures with 'Keyspace test does not exist' errors. The specific problematic change was in commit19b6207fwhich modified truncate_table_on_all_shards to set use_sstable_identifier = true. This causes exceptions during truncate that are not properly handled, leading to Raft applier fiber stopping and nodes losing schema synchronization.
Front-end tests for nodetool
The tests in this directory exercise the nodetool client itself, mocking the API backend. This allows for testing all combinations of all supported options, and still keeping the tests quick.
The tests can be run against both the scylla-native nodetool (default), or the inherited, C*-based nodetool.
Run all tests against the scylla-native nodetool:
pytest --nodetool=scylla .
You can specify the path to the scylla binary with the --nodetool-path option. By default the tests will pick up the ScyllaDB executable, that is appropriate for the --mode option (defaults to dev).
Run all tests against the C* nodetool:
pytest --nodetool=cassandra .
Again, you can specify the path to the nodetool binary with --nodetool-path option. By default, <scylladb.git>/tools/java/bin/nodetool will be used.
When running the test against the java-nodeotol, you can specify the path to JMX with --jmx-path option. By default, <scylladb.git>/tools/jmx/scripts/scylla-jmx will be used.
If you add new tests, make sure to run all tess against both nodetool implementations, to avoid regressions. Note that CI/promotion will only run the tests against the scylla-native nodetool.
