TAP Tests

The client program tests under src/bin use the Perl TAP tools and are run by prove . You can pass command-line options to prove by setting the make variable PROVE_FLAGS , for example:

make -C src/bin check PROVE_FLAGS='--reverse'

The default is --verbose . See the manual page of prove for more information.

The tests written in Perl require the Perl module IPC::Run . This module is available from CPAN or an operating system package. They also require PostgreSQL to be configured with the option --enable-tap-tests .
