Oops, thanks.

Thank you for updating the patch!
+1 to add tests but even the current postgres passes this tests
because of two reasons: one is $node_standby tries to restore
00000001.history but fails and therefore RECOVERYHISTORY isn't
created. Another one is described To reproduce this issue the new
timeline ID of recovered database needs to be more than 3.
+isnt(
+ -f "$node_standby_data/pg_wal/RECOVERYHISTORY",
+ "RECOVERYHISTORY removed after promotion");
+isnt(
+ -f "$node_standby_data/pg_wal/RECOVERYXLOG",
+ "RECOVERYXLOG removed after promotion");
I think that the above checks are always true because isnt() function
checks if the 1st argument and 2nd argument are not the same.
I've attached the updated version patch including the tests. Please review it.
