Test::postgresql - postgresql runner for tests (DEPRECATED)
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);
This module is DEPRECATED. Please see the replacement Test::PostgreSQL which was created as a fork and is receiving fixes and improvements.
Test::postgresql automatically setups a postgresql instance in a temporary directory, and destroys it when the perl script exits.
Test::postgresql
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.
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.
new
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
postmaster
Arguments passed to initdb and postmaster. Following example adds --encoding=utf8 option to initdb_args.
initdb_args
my $pgsql = Test::postgresql->new( initdb_args => $Test::postgresql::Defaults{initdb_args} . ' --encoding=utf8' ) or plan skip_all => $Test::postgresql::errstr;
Builds and returns dsn by using given parameters (if any). Default username is 'postgres', and dbname is 'test' (an empty database).
Returns process id of postgresql (or undef if not running).
Returns TCP port number on which postmaster is accepting connections (or undef if not running).
Starts postmaster.
Stops postmaster.
Setups the postgresql instance.
