Largely following a recipe from Andres, I have migrated buildfarm animals fairywren and jacana to a setup that shouldn't need (and in fact won't be able to use) PostgreSQL::Test:Utils::perl2host(). AFAICT these two are the only buildfarm animals that run TAP tests under msys.
See discussion at <https://postgr.es/m/20220125023609.5ohu3nslxgoyg...@alap3.anarazel.de> The lesson to be learned, incidentally, is "Don't use the msys targeted perl to run TAP tests". I suggest that we apply this patch: diff --git a/src/test/perl/PostgreSQL/Test/Utils.pm b/src/test/perl/PostgreSQL/Test/Utils.pm index 57fcb24089..31e2b0315e 100644 --- a/src/test/perl/PostgreSQL/Test/Utils.pm +++ b/src/test/perl/PostgreSQL/Test/Utils.pm @@ -311,7 +311,7 @@ The returned path uses forward slashes but has no trailing slash. sub perl2host { my ($subject) = @_; - return $subject unless $Config{osname} eq 'msys'; + return $subject; if ($is_msys2) { # get absolute, windows type path and if nothing breaks in a few days I will set about a more thorough removal of perl2host() and adjusting everywhere it's called, and we can forget that the whole sorry mess ever happened :-) I know a number of people who will be overjoyed. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
