Postgres 9.3.1 and Self Test Failure "pg_regress: no *.source files found"

Jeffrey Walton <noloader@gmail.com> writes:

The following dropped out of `make check` for Postgres 9.3.1.

Sure you've got a complete source tree? There ought to be files in
that directory:

$ ls src/test/regress/input
constraints.source create_function_2.source security_label.source
copy.source largeobject.source tablespace.source
create_function_1.source misc.source

Yes, I have them. (I download 9.3.1 from
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v9.3.1/).

From below, I'm thinking --inputdir might not be quite correct. `mkdir
./testtablespace` creates testtablespace in regress/, not input/. I'd
like to try --inputdir=./input/.

The GNUmakefile in the top level directory and the regress/ directory
do not include the string "--inputdir". Any ideas where I can tune it?

Thanks for the help.

mkdir ./testtablespace
../../../src/test/regress/pg_regress --inputdir=.
--temp-install=./tmp_check --top-builddir=../../.. --dlpath=.
--schedule=./parallel_schedule
pg_regress: no *.source files found in

It really should not be necessary for you to hack the makefiles before
"make check" will pass. In any case, pg_regress seems to be reporting
that it searched the correct directory.

Given the upthread discussion about readdir having alignment issues in the
environment you're using, I'm suspecting that that is somehow causing
pg_regress to fail to find anything while it searches the directory.
Does that sound plausible at all? Look at pgfnames() in
src/common/pgfnames.c and convert_sourcefiles_in() in
src/test/regress/pg_regress.c.

You were right.... I copied the fiddled-with postgres-9.3.1 onto that
Ubuntu VM rather than downloading a fresh copy.
