The test timeuuid_test.py::testTimeuuid sporadically failed, and it turns out
the reason was a bug in the test - which this patch fixes.
The buggy test created a timeuuid and then compared the time stored in it
to the result of the dateOf() CQL function. The problem is that dateOf()
returns a CQL "timestamp", which has millisecond resolution, while the
timeuuid *may* have finer than millisecond resolution. The reason why this
test rarely failed is that in our implementation, the timeuuid almost
always gets a millisecond-resolution timestamp. Only if now() gets called
more than once in one millisecond, does it pick a higher time incremented
by less than a millisecond.
What this patch does is to truncate the time read from the timeuuid to
millisecond resolution, and only then compare it to the result of dateOf().
We cannot hope for more.
Fixes #8060

(cherry picked from commit a03a8a89a9)
Single-node funtional tests for Scylla's CQL features. Tests use the Python CQL library and the pytest frameworks. By using an actual CQL library for the tests, they can be run against any implementation of CQL - both Scylla and Cassandra. Most tests - except in rare cases - should pass on both, to ensure that Scylla is compatible with Cassandra in most features.
To run all tests against an already-running local installation of Scylla
or Cassandra on localhost, just run pytest. The "--host" and "--port"
can be used to give a different location for the running Scylla or Cassanra.
More conveniently, we have two scripts - "run" and "run-cassandra" - which do all the work necessary to start Scylla or Cassandra (respectively), and run the tests on them. The Scylla or Cassandra process is run in a temporary directory which is automatically deleted when the test ends.
Additional options can be passed to "pytest" or to "run" / "run-cassandra" to control which tests to run:
- To run all tests in a single file, do
pytest test_table.py. - To run a single specific test, do
pytest test_table.py::test_create_table_unsupported_names.
Additional useful pytest options, especially useful for debugging tests:
- -v: show the names of each individual test running instead of just dots.
- -s: show the full output of running tests (by default, pytest captures the test's output and only displays it if a test fails)
