Re: [HACKERS] regression.out and regression.diff
Tom Lane writes: I have no idea why Peter thinks 'make installcheck' should be less reliable than 'make check'. If installcheck fails for you, let's see that too. In the test run that Vince had posted to his web tool, the server process apparently didn't have write permission to the source tree, so all the tests that did a COPY failed, plus all subsequent tests that depended on those tables. Additionally, the installcheck is also prone to fail if template1 was initialized with a different multibyte encoding, if there was a different locale during initdb, or if there's something fishy in postgresql.conf. At least I wouldn't accept installcheck output as a final result before seeing 'check'. Additionally, make check also tests 'make install' and 'initdb' robustness, which installcheck doesn't do, so the former should be preferred as final test result. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yi.org/peter-e/

We've come to a point where all tests should pass all the time on all
supported platforms. If they don't, that's a bug and should be posted to
a mailing list.
The test output should come from 'gmake check', not the test against an
already installed server ('installcheck').

It was a snapshot - no idea what kind of shape it was in and I don't
recall how I did the check, but it may have been installcheck.
Either way my question still needs to be answered. If there are no
errors, is regression.out and regression.diff deleted? I can see the
diff file being empty, but deleted?

I can see the diff file being empty, but deleted? The diff file always exists; if all tests passed, it's empty. The .out file always contains a copy of what you see on the screen (i.e., the ok/FAIL). Which one of these two you want depends on what you are trying to achieve, but the .out file is probably less necessary, because if there are failed tests, you will see in the diff file. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yi.org/peter-e/

Make that "must have been installcheck" 'cuze I just reran it with
gmake check and it passed all but the ignored random test.
