I have just found, after an hour or two of frustration, that pg_regress'
--inputdir and --outputdir options don't play nicely with the
convert_sourcefiles routines. In effect these options are ignored as
destinations for converted files, and the destination for converted
files is apparently always $CWD/{sql,expected}. The upshot is that these
options are pretty much unusable if you want to have converted files
(which would, for example, specify the location of data files).
This seems like an outright bug. I don't recall any discussion on it.
Maybe nobody's come across it before. ISTM the correct behaviour would
be to put converted sql files in $inputdir/sql and converted results
files in $outputdir/expected.
Thoughts?
cheers
