When executing against an +external server, tests tagged `external:skip` are skipped. + +There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to +match different external server configurations: + +| Option | Impact | +| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | +| `--singledb` | Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported. | +| `--ignore-encoding` | Skip all checks for specific encoding. | +| `--ignore-digest` | Skip key value digest validations. | +| `--cluster-mode` | Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode. | +| `--large-memory` | Enables tests that consume more than 100mb | + +Tags +---- + +Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, +but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required +capabilities. + +Tags can be applied in different context levels: +* `start_server` context +* `tags` context that bundles several tests together +* A single test context. + +The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used: + +| Tag | Indicates | +| --------------------- | --------- | +| `external:skip` | Not compatible with external servers. | +| `cluster:skip` | Not compatible with `--cluster-mode`. | +| `large-memory` | Test that requires more than 100mb | +| `tls:skip` | Not compatible with `--tls`. | +| `needs:repl` | Uses replication and needs to be able to `SYNC` from server. | +| `needs:debug` | Uses the `DEBUG` command or other debugging focused commands (like `OBJECT REFCOUNT`). | +| `needs:pfdebug` | Uses the `PFDEBUG` command. | +| `needs:config-maxmemory` | Uses `CONFIG SET` to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc. | +| `needs:config-resetstat` | Uses `CONFIG RESETSTAT` to reset statistics. | +| `needs:reset` | Uses `RESET` to reset client connections. | +| `needs:save` | Uses `SAVE` or `BGSAVE` to create an RDB file. | + +When using an external server (`--host` and `--port`), filtering using the +`external:skip` tags is done automatically. + +When using `--cluster-mode`, filtering using the `cluster:skip` tag is done +automatically. + +When not using `--large-memory`, filtering using the `largemem:skip` tag is done +automatically. + +In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration.
