Running the tests
=================
- make check
+NOTE: You must have given the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.
+Run
+ make check
or
-
make installcheck
+You can use "make installcheck" if you previously did "make install"
+(including installing the hstore extension). In that case, the code
+in the installation tree is tested. With "make check", a temporary
+installation tree is built from the current sources and then tested.
-This requires the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.
-
-Running the tests creates a temporary installation (in the case of
-"check"), and some tests may create one or multiple nodes, for the
-purpose of the tests.
-
-Running installcheck requires the hstore extension to be installed.
+Either way, this test initializes, starts, and stops several test Postgres
+clusters.
