So after looking at this a bit, the reason PAGER and PSQL_PAGER don't cause us any problems in the test environment is that they are not honored unless isatty(fileno(stdin)) && isatty(fileno(stdout)). It seems to me that it's a bug that there is no such check before using PSQL_WATCH_PAGER. Is there actually any defensible reason for that? I think we do need to clear out all three variables in Cluster::interactive_psql. But our regular psql tests shouldn't be at risk here. regards, tom lane
