Hi,
we would like to be able to use and ship pg_regress and the PostgreSQL
test suite independently of the PostgreSQL build environment, for
testing and maybe even as a separate package to be build and shipped
with the OS for others to test their setup. Does this sound like a sane
and OK thing to do?
I have a problem with one of the tests (create_function_1.source):
---------8<----------------8<----------------8<----------------8<-------
20 CREATE FUNCTION int44out(city_budget)
21 RETURNS cstring
22 AS '@abs_builddir@/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@'
23 LANGUAGE C STRICT;
24
25 CREATE FUNCTION check_primary_key ()
26 RETURNS trigger
27 AS '@abs_builddir@/../../../contrib/spi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@'
28 LANGUAGE C;
...
35 CREATE FUNCTION autoinc ()
36 RETURNS trigger
37 AS '@abs_builddir@/../../../contrib/spi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@'
38 LANGUAGE C;
---------8<----------------8<----------------8<----------------8<-------
(The ../../../contrib/spi-path does not exist outside of the build
environment, so to be able to run the test you need to have source code,
compilers, ...)
I could work around this problem by copying the needed shared objects to
@abs_builddir@ as part of make or make check, I could add a
“–look-for-shared-objects-here” parameter to pg_regress, and you
probably have other suggestions.
Is this something we want to fix, and what would be the right way to do
it? (I have no problem providing a patch.)
