"make check" changes have caused buildfarm deterioration.
Somewhere along the way some changes to the way we do "make check" have
caused a significant deterioration in the buildfarm's logging. Compare
these two from animal crake, which happens to be my test instance:
<http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=crake&dt=2015-07-20%2013%3A09%3A02&stg=check>
and
<http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=crake&dt=2015-07-20%2017%3A23%3A08&stg=check>
In the first place, we now have all that extraneous installation logging
at the top, and the stuff we are most likely to be interested in right
at the bottom. But more importantly, we are now missing the initdb log
and the postmaster log, and the function to get a stack trace if
required is almost certainly going to be broken as well.
What's most annoying is that some of the stuff for this hasn't just
moved, but some is now apparently now cleaned up and removed so the
buildfarm script can't get at it at all.
I'm going to look at what can be done to repair the damage. No doubt I
should have been paying more attention, but sometimes I just can't keep
track of everything going on. Fixing this will almost certainly involve
some core changes, though.
Incidentally, this has real consequences: I just went looking to find
the postmaster log of a case that had an error and it was missing -
that's how I noticed this.

Yeah, I've been bitching about the poor logging for awhile, but I had
not realized that it's still working as-expected in the back branches.
Comparing different branches, it looks like "somewhere along the way"
means "between 9.4 and 9.5". I suspect that commit dcae5faccab64776, or
perhaps the followon dbf2ec1a1c053379, is to blame.

is that now the temporary installation is a make target. Both ways
have advantages and disadvantages.
Regarding initdb.log and postmaster.log, this is definitely a bug.
Those have been moved by dcae5fa from log/ to tmp_check/log/,
tmp_check/ getting removed at the end of pg_regress if there are no

pg_regress is called using outputdir whose default is ".". This way

Subject: [PATCH] Fix location of output logs of pg_regress
initdb.log and postmaster.log have been moved in the temporary instance
path by default tmp_check/log by dcae5fac, which gets removed at the end
of the run of pg_regress when there are no failures found. This makes
difficult analysis of after-run failures in some cases, and reduces the
output verbosity of buildfarm after a run.
Per report from Andrew Dunstan.

Well, three things: 1) the entry is not missing right now, but it will
be missing if we apply your patch; 2) the file is inconsistent with the
other test modules anyway so we might as well apply your patch to make
them all alike; 3) we shouldn't really do anything about that until the
other patch's fate is decided.
So, regarding the other patch, I don't know if it's that useful to keep
the log files when the check succeeds; and if it fails, the only problem
we have, I think, is that the path is wrong in the buildfarm code and
that seems easily fixed, but do we want to make the master branch
different from the others? Maybe the BF code can look up the new path
first, and if it can't find the file then look in the old path.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the whole thing.

FWIW, I think that's bad TM. Especially when comparing good/bad
buildfarm runs the ability to get logs from good runs is essential.

I agree; this change may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but
it was not. Failures during "make check"'s install step are rare enough
that you don't really need all that output in your face to help with the
rare situation where it fails. And for the buildfarm's purposes, it is
surely desirable to segregate that output from the actual check step.
A possible alternative is to run the "make install" sub-step with -s,
but that could be objected to on the grounds that if it did fail, you'd
have a hard time telling exactly which step failed.

It wasn't really an idea; it was just not necessary anymore. We can put
it [directing the make install output into a file] back if that's what
people prefer.

OK... Attached are two patches (please merge them into a single
commit, I am just separating them as they are separate issues):
- 0001 adds a missing entry in test_ddl_deparse's .gitignore. I
mentioned that upthread.
- 0002 redirects the installation logs into
abs_top_builddir/tmp_install/log/install.log. We could redirect it
only to abs_top_builddir/log/ but tmp_install is not removed after a
run of a regression make target.

dbf2ec1a changed make check such as the installation logs get directed

mentioned that upthread.
- 0002 redirects the installation logs into
abs_top_builddir/tmp_install/log/install.log. We could redirect it
only to abs_top_builddir/log/ but tmp_install is not removed after a
run of a regression make target.
If I run 'make check' on an unbuilt tree, any compiler warnings emitted
during the build phase now get directed into the install log. Was that
intentional or a side effect?
Cheers,
Jeff

rare situation where it fails. And for the buildfarm's
purposes, it is
surely desirable to segregate that output from the actual check
step.
It wasn't really an idea; it was just not necessary anymore. We
can put
it [directing the make install output into a file] back if
that's what
people prefer.
OK... Attached are two patches (please merge them into a single
commit, I am just separating them as they are separate issues):
- 0001 adds a missing entry in test_ddl_deparse's .gitignore. I
mentioned that upthread.
- 0002 redirects the installation logs into
abs_top_builddir/tmp_install/log/install.log. We could redirect it
only to abs_top_builddir/log/ but tmp_install is not removed after a
run of a regression make target.If I run 'make check' on an unbuilt tree, any compiler warnings

Probably not, but you could get around it easily by doing "make && make
check". Getting around the previous behavior was not nearly so easy.
