I put a version test for this and it works for me. I guess you could do it unconditionally, if you want, but the
conditionis just:
- TestLib::system_or_bail('pg_ctl', '-D', $pgdata, '-l', $logfile,
+ TestLib::system_or_bail('pg_ctl',
+ $self->older_than_version('10') ? '-w' : (),
+ '-D', $pgdata, '-l', $logfile,
'restart');
