FYI, we resolved this issue. The problem was having pg_show_plans listed in shared_preload_libraries. We removed pg_show_plans from the shared_preload_libraries and we were able to successfully create the logical replication slot.

Hi All,
We get the following error when trying to test creating a logical replication slot in Postgres version 11.9

ERROR: cannot create logical replication slot in transaction that has performed writes
We are running the above command from psql and have tried issuing a rollback prior to running the command but still get the same error.
We have the following settings enabled:

Any suggestions on what may be causing the above error are appreciated.
