Alexis King 25c5f97de2 Fix new hdb_table_info_agg query to fetch column base types
We mostly want to do this to make queries against information_schema
tables work, which the console cares about. information_schema tables
use types like sql_identifier, which have no corresponding array types
defined! Therefore, in order to generate valid queries for _in and _nin
conditions, we need to treat them as their base types, instead.

Running tests

The easiest way to run the test suite is to do:

$ scripts/dev.sh test

This should install python dependencies if required, and run in isolation.

Tests Structure

  • Tests are grouped as test classes in test modules (names starting with test_)

  • The configuration files (if needed) for the tests in a class are usually kept in one folder.

    • The folder name is usually either the dir variable or the dir() function
  • Some tests (like in test_graphql_queries.py) requires a setup and teardown per class.

    • Here we are extending the DefaultTestSelectQueries class.
    • This class defines a fixture which will run the configurations in setup.yaml and teardown.yaml once per class
    • Extending test class should define a function name dir(), which returns the configuration folder
  • For mutation tests (like in test_graphql_mutations.py)

    • We need a schema_setup and schema_teardown per class
    • And values_setup and values_teardown per test
    • Doing schema setup and teardown per test is expensive.
    • We are extending the DefaultTestMutations class for this.
    • This class defines a fixture which will run the configuration in setup.yaml and teardown.yaml once per class.
    • Another fixture defined in this class runs the configuration in values_setup.yaml and values_teardown.yaml once per class.
