Обсуждение: [OAuth] Missing dependency on oauth_validator test

Hi,

While working in another patch[1] I found that the test for the
oauth_validator was failing when running the test using:

meson test -C build --setup --suite oauth_validator

This was due to the binary `oauth_hook_client` being missing because I
build the code without enabling the OAuth test using `PG_EXTRA_TEST`.

I'm attaching a small patch that add the binary dependency in the
meson.build file, thus, it will be build before running the test.

Pushed and backpatched, thanks! I missed the conversation in [1],
where this was fixed for the other binaries.

Andres, do you know of any way we could surface these missing deps
with only the "standard" meson/ninja invocations? The only idea I had
was to not build the test executables by default, but I think that
trades a small problem (we occasionally hit a build-time dependency
bug) for a big one (devs fail to notice that a test executable doesn't
compile).

I don't see a realistic magic solution here, unfortunately.

I was thinking that we ought to do that, just to make the compile-hack loop a
bit shorter.  If we then run the tests in some CI tasks after cleaning the
build tree, it should find most of the omissions.
