Обсуждение: pgbench tests vs Windows
In commit ed8a7c6fcf9 we added some extra tests to pgbench, including
this snippet:
\setshell two\
expr \
1 + :one
Unfortunately, this isn't portable, as I've just discovered at the cost
of quite a bit of time. In particular, you can't assume expr is present
and in the path on Windows. The Windows equivalent would be something like:
\setshell two\
@set /a c = 1 + :one && echo %c%
I propose to prepare a patch along these lines. Alternatively we could
just drop it - I don't think the test matters all that hugely.
cheers

Ugh.

I wonder how universal that is, either.

I'd say try that, but if it doesn't work right away, just skip the
test on Windows.

I don't see exactly why we should drop it either. -- Michael

If so, the attached patch does something only with "echo". > I propose to prepare a patch along these lines. Alternatively we could > just drop it - I don't think the test matters all that hugely. The point is to have some minimal coverage so that unexpected changes are caught. This is the only call to a working \setshell. -- Fabien.

Yes, it's built into the cmd processor (as is "set /a", to answer Tom's earlier question about portability - I tested the above back to XP.) echo is much more universal, and I can confirm that the suggested fix works on the Windows test box I'm using. I'll apply and backpatch that. Thanks cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan https://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
