The reason for this change is to support the upcoming redis-cluster since
it has different behaviors compared to the client-side cluster implementation
provided by Predis. For example redis-cluster will not support key tags or
certain operations currently available with our client-side implementation.
Now Predis\Command\ScriptedCommand uses EVALSHA instead of EVAL internally
so that performances should be better since the client do not resend the
Lua script body on each call.
Plain EVALSHA commands are not affected and will return or throw the error.
The "throw_errors" connection parameter has been removed and replaced by the
new "exceptions" client option since exceptions on -ERR replies returned by
Redis are not generated by connection classes anymore but are thrown by the
client class and other abstractions such as pipeline contexts.
This change does not affect much people using the Predis\Client class (aside
from the different configuration) but gives much more flexibility to those
building their own pieces of code around the internal classes of Predis.
With a negative number Predis will count from the end of the arguments list
to calculate the actual number of keys that will be interpreted as elements
for `KEYS` by the underlying `EVAL` command.
Starting with 2.6, Redis uses a slightly different format for the payload
returned by MONITOR for each command. Predis can now adapt to this difference
and returns a new `client` field in the payload object. This new field is
always defined but is set to NULL when connected to Redis < 2.6.
Please note that Redis 2.6 now does not echo the `MONITOR` command as the
first payload when opening a new MONITOR context.
The reason for this change is that not every cluster implementation can support
this behaviour, think of Redis cluster for example. We moved the implementation
of this method in Predis\Connection\PredisCluster since it can still be useful.
Since PHP cannot serialize closures we switched to a private method to check
if a SORT command is a read-only operation, but closures are still supported
even if they will make the connection unserializable.
This can be useful to set up the profile with additional commands,
e.g. when injecting new "virtual" commands based upon the EVAL and
the Predis\Commands\ScriptedCommand class.
Previously it was possible to create a new instance of Predis\Client using
the alias of a single connection in a cluster of connections. Now we added
the ability to do this also when using master/slave replication.
Fix also a few bugs found while rewriting the test suite.
In order to be able to run integration tests, the test suite requires
a version of Redis >= 2.4.0.
The units have been splitted into several different groups using
PHPUnit @group annotation to allow developers to enable, disable
and combine certain types of tests. The available groups are:
- disconnected: can run without a Redis server online
- connected: active connection to a Redis server is required
- commands: test dedicated to a specific Redis command
- slow: performs operations that can slow down execution;
A list of the available groups can be obtained by running
phpunit --list-groups
Groups of tests can be disabled or enabled via the XML configuration
file or the standard command-line test runner. Please note that due
to a bug in PHPUnit, older versions ignore the --group option when
the group is excluded in the XML configuration file. Please refer to
http://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/issues/320 for details
Integration tests in the @connected group check if the command being
tested is defined in the selected server profile (see the value of
the TEST_SERVER_VERSION constant in phpunit.xml). If the command is
not defined in the target server profile, the integration test is
automatically marked as skipped.
We also provide an helper script in the bin directory that can be
used to automatically generate a file with the scheleton of a test
case for a Redis command by specifying the name of the class in the
Predis\Commands namespace. For example, to generate a test case for
SET (represented by the Predis\Commands\StringSet class):
./bin/generate-command-test.php --class=StringSet
The realm of a command is automatically inferred from the name of the
class, but it can be set using the --realm option.
