Description:
This test failure seems to be new in 5.1.26-rc (and up),
and it is specific to the "generic" community RPMs.

=====
funcs_1.innodb_func_view       [ fail ]

mysqltest: In included file "./suite/funcs_1/views/fv1.inc": At line 2: query 'EXECUTE ins_sel_with_result' fa
iled: 1406: Data too long for column 'my_select' at row 1

The result from queries just before the failure was:
< snip >
SET @my_select =
'SELECT LEFT(my_varbinary_1000, 2), my_varbinary_1000, id FROM t1_values';
SET @my_select =
'SELECT LEFT(''AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjÄäÜüÖö'', my_bigint), my_bigint, id FROM t1_values';
SET @my_select =
'SELECT LEFT(''AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjÄäÜüÖö'', my_decimal), my_decimal, id FROM t1_values';
SET @my_select =
'SELECT LEFT(''AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjÄäÜüÖö'', my_double), my_double, id FROM t1_values';
SET @my_select = 'SELECT LENGTH(my_char_30),
my_char_30, id FROM t1_values';
SET @my_select = 'SELECT LENGTH(my_varchar_1000),
my_varchar_1000, id FROM t1_values';
SET @my_select = 'SELECT LENGTH(my_binary_30),
my_binary_30, id FROM t1_values';
SET @my_select = 'SELECT LENGTH(my_varbinary_1000),
my_varbinary_1000, id FROM t1_values';
SET @my_select =
'SELECT LOAD_FILE(''<MYSQLTEST_VARDIR>/std_data_ln/funcs_1/load_file.txt'')
           AS my_col,
        id FROM t1_values';

More results from queries before failure can be found in /PATH/mysql-test/var/log/innodb_func_view.log
=====

The same failure occurs in "memory_func_view" and "myisam_func_view".

How to repeat:
Build generic community RPMs.

Suggested fix:
The failure is specific to the generic community RPMs which are built from their own "spec" file, so it is likely this contains some configure option which is responsible for the effect.

As the test passes in all other builds, IMO the problem is with the configuration and not with the test.

I had asked around, but nobody could tell me of a configure option that might cause this effect.

Once this is determined, the fix would be the modification of this "spec" file.

This problem is visible in pushbuild2 on *all* UNIX-oid configurations, so it is a bit annoying. It will generally happen on any setup depending on where in the vfs the test suite is executed.

The cause is quite simple; these test cases store queries along with their results in a table and the column for the query is declared along the lines of "my_select varchar(200)". The LOAD_FILE query contains the full path to the file that is being LOAD_FILEd and when the query including this path becomes longer than 200 characters, the test case fails.

Hi Daniel,

thank you for the analysis. You hit exact the problem.
I will increase the size of the column my_select.
