Hi!

I'm currently writing some tests for my Maplat framework.

Except for really simple tests, having PostgreSQL server and memcached installed is quite essential (both cam be started as temporary instances if required as long as the binaries are available).

What is the reasonable response if one or both of them are not available during "make test"?

*) FAIL the tests?
*) SKIP the tests?
*) DIAG("Warning") and skip the tests?

In my case, skipping the tests will probably exclude > 80% of the functionality, so what do i do? I probably can't just assume every cpantester has postgresql and memcached installed, can i?

LG
Rene
