I’ve wanted this for a long time. I think it would have to create a temporary cluster, fire up a server, install the extension(s), run the tests, shut down the server and delete the cluster. > Possibly related to this...

Right, then pg_regress could just be the default test framework. Dvaid smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

The following patch tries to address that by allowing to specify a per-cluster extension path via an "extensions_path" GUC. It is more a request-for-comments rather than a ready patch, as I hadn't considered all use cases like upgrades of already-loaded extensions and the possibility ot have a list of directories to seek for extensions. Anyway, patch is attached. This would be very useful. I proposed this previously in February, but that implementation (almost identical to yours) was rejected. https://commitfest.postgresql.org/5/170/ http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/54e3c31f.8010...@ohmu.fi Both of these implementations miss a way to override the path for extension .so files. / Oskari -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
