Buildfarm members hornet and sungazer have shown multiple instances of "Failed test 'xmin of non-cascaded slot with hs feedback has changed'". The reason seems to be that the test is checking the current xmin of the master server's replication slot against a past xmin of the first slave server's replication slot. Even though the latter slot is downstream of the former, it's possible for its reported xmin to be ahead of the former's reported xmin, because those numbers are updated whenever the respective downstream walreceiver feels like it (see logic in WalReceiverMain). Instrumenting this test shows that indeed the slave slot's xmin does often advance before the master's does, especially if an autovacuum transaction manages to occur during the relevant window. If we happen to capture such an advanced xmin as $xmin, then the subsequent wait_slot_xmins call can fall through before the master's xmin has advanced at all, and then if it advances before the get_slot_xmins call, we can get the observed failure. Yeah, that's a bit of a long chain of deduction, but it's hard to explain any other way how the test can get past an "xmin <> '$xmin'" check only to have the next query find that xmin does equal $xmin. Fix by keeping separate images of the master and slave slots' xmins and testing their has-xmin-advanced conditions independently. |

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check".
