The .experimental files in this directory contain names of test cases that
2
are still in development and whose failures should be considered expected,
3
instead of regressions.
5
These files are to be used with the --experimental option of
6
mysql-test-run.pl. Please look at its help screen for usage information.

The syntax is as follows:
10
1) One line per test case.
12
2) Empty lines and lines starting with a hash (#) are ignored.
14
3) If any other line contains a blank followed by a hash (#), the hash
15
and any subsequent characters are ignored.
17
4) The full test case name including the suite and execution mode
18
may be specified, for example:
19
main.alias 'row' # bug#00000
21
4b) Now, combinations will also be covered if only the test name is
22
specified, for example:
23
rpl.rpl_ps # Covers 'row', 'mix' and 'stmt'
25
5) As an exception to item 4, the last character of the test case
26
specification may be an asterisk (*). In that case, all test cases that
27
start with the same characters up to the last letter before the asterisk
28
are considered experimental:
29
main.a* # get rid of main.alias, main.alibaba and main.agliolio
31
6) Optionally, the test case may be followed by one or more platform
32
qualifiers beginning with @ or @!. The test will then be considered
33
experimental only/except on that platform. Basic OS names as
34
reported by $^O in Perl, or 'windows' are supported, this includes
35
solaris, linux, windows, aix, darwin, ... Example:
36
main.alias @aix @windows # Fails on those
