NAME

       dh_pgxs_test - Run testsuite during a PGXS PostgreSQL extension build

SYNOPSIS

       dh_pgxs_test [loop]

DESCRIPTION

       PostgreSQL extensions need to be installed before they can be tested and hence the usual
       debhelper way of invoking tests from dh_auto_test(1) does not work.

       dh_pgxs_test is a dh(1) sequence point created by the pgxs and pgxs_loop debhelper
       extensions that is executed after dh_auto_install(1).  It calls pg_buildext installcheck
       after a PostgreSQL extension module has been built and installed into the
       debian/packagename/ directory.

       Users wishing to change the action called by dh_pgxs_test should call pg_buildext or
       similar commands.

         override_dh_pgxs_test:
                 echo "CREATE EXTENSION foo" | pg_buildext psql . . postgresql-%v-foo

OPTIONS

       loop
           dh --with pgxs builds packages in build-%v subdirectories. The loop options
           corresponds to dh --with pgxs_loop and builds in the top-level directory.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7), dh(1), dh_make_pgxs(1), pg_buildext(1).
