Indeed. That seems broken by definition. More generally, I thought we'd established a convention that all files made by TAP tests should be put inside the tmp_check directory, to simplify cleanup and .gitignore rules. But in a VPATH build, tmp_check ought to live in the build tree. regards, tom lane
