Hi all,

I was checking out TAP tests documentation. And I found confusing this
part of src/test/perl/README file:

     my $ret = $node->psql('postgres', 'SELECT 1');
     is($ret, '1', 'SELECT 1 returns 1');

The returning value of psql() function is the exit code of the psql.
Hence this test will never pass since psql returns 0 if query was
successfully executed. Probably it was meant to be the safe_psql()
function instead which returns stdout:

     my $ret = $node->safe_psql('postgres', 'SELECT 1');
     is($ret, '1', 'SELECT 1 returns 1');

or else:

     my ($ret, $stdout, $stderr) =
         $node->psql('postgres', 'SELECT 1');
     is($stdout, '1', 'SELECT 1 returns 1');

The attached patch fixes this.

Regards,
Ildar Musin
