Explain the difference between "make check" and "make installcheck". Mention the need for --enable-tap-tests (only some of these did so before). Standardize their wording about how to run the tests.

Regression tests for authentication
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
This directory contains a test suite for authentication. SSL certificate
|
|
authentication tests are kept separate, in src/test/ssl/, because they
|
|
are more complicated, and are not safe to run in a multi-user system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running the tests
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
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".
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Either way, this test initializes, starts, and stops a test Postgres
|
|
cluster.
