Sorry, I had a look when Peter replied a while back but forgot to update this
thread. The reason for the failure is that when running multiple pg_regress in
parallel against a single instance it is impossible to avoid global object
pollution from other tests concurrently executing. Since pg_regress has no
idea about the contents of the tests it also cannot apply any smarts in
filtering out such objects. The CI failures comes from the contrib tests which
run in parallel.
The only option is to make the check opt-in via a command-line parameter for
use it in the main regress tests, and not use it for the contrib tests. The
attached v7 does that and passes CI, but I wonder if it's worth it all with
that restriction?
The 0001 cleanup patch is still relevant (and was found by using this feature)
though but that might be all for this thread.
