Description

Running

make check RUNTESTFLAGS='-v --extension --upgrade-path=2.0.5--2.2.0dev'

I get the error:

+ERROR:  unrecognized configuration parameter "postgis.backend"

It sounds like the "postgis.backend" GUC parameter is not installed on upgrade, but only on new install, can it be ?

This could be related:

Preparing db 'postgis_reg' using: CREATE EXTENSION postgis VERSION '2.0.5'
Upgrading PostGIS in 'postgis_reg' using: ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE TO '2.2.0dev'
ERROR:  function postgis_sfcgal_version() does not exist

It sounds related to #2754

Should run_test get a new switch to load the sfcgal script/extension ? like —topology is used for topology ?

Summary: After 2.0.5 to 2.2.0dev upgrade: ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "postgis.backend"make check ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "postgis.backend"

r12766 fixes the support for —extension and sfcgal switch, fixing the "postgis_sfcgal_version" availability during testing.

But still, the 'unrecognized configuration parameter "postgis.backend"' comes out on make check (no matter upgrade switches)

NOTE: this is when running against 9.1.13, so could be that at that time the database needs to be instructed to recognize the GUC (likely).

comment:6 by strk, 10 years ago

Confirmed, it's about 9.1.x needing an explicit configuration to recognize namespaced GUCs. Not sure how to deal with this at "make check" time. Maybe GUC testing should be disabled for 9.1 ? Or only if custo_variable_classes does not contain "postgis" ?

I cannot reproduce anymore. Will file a new one if anything else comes out.
