Thread: Re: Announcing Release 18 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client

I have pushed  Release 18 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client

In addition to numerous minor tweaks and bug fixes, the following changes are made:

• many improvements in the collection of log files
• accommodate change in data checksum default in cross version upgrade testing
• increase default PGCTLTIMEOUT to 180s
• improve "safe" environment set, including all in the build_env configuration settings
• on script timeout, don't just fail but send the result to the server (Note: the timeout mechanism doesn't work on Windows, and has been disabled there)
• set the default timeout to 4 hours.
  

It looks like this timeout should be increased at least on avocet (which
tests CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS).

Just after upgrading, it failed on REL_13_STABLE, REL_12_STABLE (I think
other branches to follow) with timeouts:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=avocet&dt=2024-11-22%2016%3A11%3A23
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=avocet&dt=2024-11-22%2020%3A11%3A49

(On previous runs, this animal used buildfarm client REL_16.)

Best regards,
Alexander

Now that wait_timeout changed from undefined to 0 in $Script_Config,
tests are going green on avocet.

Thank you!
