Łukasz Paszkowski a22d1034af test.py: Fix test_compactionhistory_rows_merged_time_window_compaction_strategy
The test has two major problems
1. Wrongly computed time windows. Data was not spread across two 1-minute
   windows causing the test to generate even three sstables instead
   of two
2. Timestamp was not propagated to the prepared CQL statements. So
   in fact, a current time was used implicitly
3. Because of the incorrect timestamp issue, the remaining tests
   testing purged tombstones were affected as well.

Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/24532

Tests for the Scylla REST API.

Tests use the requests library and the pytest frameworks (both are available from Linux distributions, or with "pip install").

To run all tests using test.py, just run ./test.py api/run.

To run all tests against an already-running local installation of Scylla, just run pytest. The "--host" and "--api-port" can be used to give a different location for the running Scylla.

More conveniently, we have a script - "run" - which does all the work necessary to start Scylla, and run the tests on it. The Scylla process is run in a temporary directory which is automatically deleted when the test ends.

"run" automatically picks the most recently compiled version of Scylla in build/*/scylla - but this choice of Scylla executable can be overridden with the SCYLLA environment variable.

Additional options can be passed to "pytest" or to "run" to control which tests to run:

  • To run all tests in a single file, do pytest test_system.py.
  • To run a single specific test, do pytest test_system.py::test_system_uptime_ms.
  • To run the same test or tests 100 times, add the --count=100 option. This is faster than running run 100 times, because Scylla is only run once, and also counts for you how many of the runs failed. For pytest to support the --count option, you need to install a pytest extension: pip install pytest-repeat

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)
