Many thanks Tom for your feedback. I appreciate it.
Actually the tests work in parallel with autovacuum, I just wanted to minimize the test time since the autovacuum launches in the middle of the many regression and robustness tests. But then I follow your advice.

TBH, this seems like a pretty bad idea. If your extension doesn't behave stably with autovacuum it's not going to be much use in the real world.
In the core tests, we sometimes disable autovac for individual tables using a per-table storage option, but that's a last resort.
