To verify that PostgreSQL operations on regular tables are unaffected by the TimescaleDB extension, the regular PostgreSQL regression tests can be run with the TimescaleDB extension loaded. To enable the build target (`pginstallcheck`), one needs to set the CMake `PG_SOURCE_DIR` variable to point to the PostgreSQL source code, which needs to have at least the regression test suite compiled. The PostgreSQL tests suite will run on every Travis build.
PostgreSQL tests for TimescaleDB
The CMake configuration within this directory makes it possible to run the standard PostgreSQL test suite with the TimescaleDB extension loaded. This is useful to ensure that TimescaleDBs modifications planner and DDL hooks are compatible with standard PostgreSQL.
Running
The configuration within adds a new CMake target, pginstallcheck,
that allows running the PostgreSQL test suite using a modified test
schedule. The target requires access to the PostgreSQL source code,
which can be configured via the PG_SOURCE_DIR CMake variable. The
source tree needs to be compiled, at least the src/test/regress
directory. If the path to a PostgreSQL source tree is not
auto-detected, this variable can be set manually to point to the right
location.
# In top-level directory of a TimescaleDB source tree
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DPG_SOURCE_DIR=<path/to/pg/source> ..
Once CMake is correctly configured, run:
$ make pginstallcheck
