Thread: psql 15beta1 does not print notices on the console until transaction completes

psql 15beta1 does not print notices on the console until transaction completes

From

Hi all,

I notice this change in behaviour with psql in 15beta1 when testing an existing codebase.

I didn't see any mention of this change in the release notes and it surprised me.

Using this test function:

    create or replace function test_notice() returns void as
    $$
    begin
        raise notice 'hello';
        perform pg_sleep(10);
    end; $$ language plpgsql;

In psql 15beta1, the "hello" message only appears on the console when the transaction completes.

in psql 14.3, it appears immediately as I would have expected.

Is there a way to change psql behaviour to display notices immediately as in versions < 15?

Best regards,

Alastair

I am not seeing that.

Can you provide more information about how you are running test_notice()?

Hi Adrian,

I am running the function "select test_notice();" from the psql console with psql/server versions 15beta1.

In psql 15beta1, the notice appears only after the function returns/transaction completes.

If I execute the same function from psql 14.3 and server 15beta1, the notice appears on the psql console immediately as expected, before the pg_sleep() completes.

It's reproducible for me, I just double checked it.

I think Tom was able to reproduce this by the sounds of his response?

Best regards,

Alastair

I take that back, I was using psql 14.3 to connect to the 15 instance. 
When I changed to psql 15 I saw the same thing.

Yeah, I see the same thing  after using the new psql.

I have not received that post yet. I do see it in the archives. I had 
already tried:

\set SHOW_ALL_RESULTS off

which is supposed to restore to previous behavior, but it did not lead 
to the 14.3 result.

I re-addressed it to pgsql-bugs, maybe you are not subscribed to that?

I am not, still I see it here:

https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-general/since/202205290000/

And when I click on the message:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/3662994.1653856025%40sss.pgh.pa.us

Lists:     pgsql-bugs pgsql-general

I will admit that the mailing list software is a mystery to me, so it is 
entirely possible I am misreading the above.

FWIW, I didn't see Tom's first (bugs) post either.  Nor am I subscribed 
to bugs
