The LDAP server may change role-chain assignments without notifying Scylla. As a result, effective permissions can change, so some form of polling is required. Currently, this is handled via cache expiration. However, the unified cache is designed to be consistent and does not support expiration. To provide an equivalent mechanism for LDAP, we will periodically reload the permissions portion of the new cache at intervals matching the previously configured expiration time.
Running tests with pytest
To run test with pytest execute
pytest test/ldap
To execute only one file, provide the path filename
pytest test/unit/role_manager_test.cc
Since it's a normal path, autocompletion works in the terminal out of the box.
To provide a specific mode, use the next parameter --mode dev,
if parameter isn't provided pytest tries to use ninja mode_list to find out the compiled modes.
Parallel execution is controlled by pytest-xdist and the parameter -n auto.
This command starts tests with the number of workers equal to CPU cores.
