Bonjour Michaƫl,

Could it be possible to document the intention of the test and its
coverage then?  With the current patch, one has to guess what's the
intention behind this case.

Ok, see attached.

+check_pgbench_logs($bdir, '001_pgbench_log_1', $nthreads, 1, 3,
+       qr{^\d{10,} \d{1,2} \d+ \d+ \d+ \d+ \d+ \d+ \d+ \d+ \d+$});

Hm..  Could it be possible to tighten a bit the regex used here then?

I was playing with it and it is not really picky in terms of patterns
allowed or rejected.

The follow-up checks for check_pgbench_logs() could be a bit more restrictive as well, but my regex-fu is bad.

Given the probabilistic nature of a --rate run and the variability of hosts which may run the tests, it is hard to be more specific that \d+ for actual performance data. The run may try 0 or 50 transaction within a second (both with pretty low probabilities), so the test mostly checks the format and some basic sanity on the output and logs.

I would say to give up on the first test, and keep the second.

You mean remove the time check and keep the log check. I'd like to keep a
time check, or at least have it in comment so that I can enable it simply.

I'd rather avoid tests that tend to fail on slow machines.  There is a
flotilla in the buildfarm.

Commented out in attached v9.
