NAME

Test::postgresql - postgresql runner for tests

SYNOPSIS

  use DBI;
  use Test::postgresql;
  use Test::More;
  
  my $pgsql = Test::postgresql->new()
      or plan skip_all => $Test::postgresql::errstr;
  
  plan tests => XXX;
  
  my $dbh = DBI->connect($pgsql->dsn);

DESCRIPTION

"Test::postgresql" automatically setups a postgresql instance in a temporary directory, and destroys it when the perl script exits.

FUNCTIONS

new

Create and run a postgresql instance. The instance is terminated when the returned object is being DESTROYed. If required programs (initdb and postmaster) were not found, the function returns undef and sets appropriate message to $Test::postgresql::errstr.

base_dir

Returns directory under which the postgresql instance is being created. The property can be set as a parameter of the "new" function, in which case the directory will not be removed at exit.

initdb

postmaster

Path to "initdb" and "postmaster" which are part of the postgresql distribution. If not set, the programs are automatically searched by looking up $PATH and other prefixed directories.

initdb_args

postmaster_args

Arguments passed to "initdb" and "postmaster". Following example adds --encoding=utf8 option to "initdb_args".

  my $pgsql = Test::postgresql->new(
      initdb_args
          => $Test::postgresql::Defaults{initdb_args} . ' --encoding=utf8'
  ) or plan skip_all => $Test::postgresql::errstr;
