This looks rather sane to me, and I can confirm that this passes the CI and a manual run of MSVC tests with my own box. +is($node->poll_query_until('postgres', + "SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid) FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE " . + "application_name = '010_pg_basebackup.pl' AND wait_event = 'WalSenderMain' " . + "AND backend_type = 'walsender'"), "1", "Walsender killed"); If you do that, don't you have a risk to kill the WAL sender doing the BASE_BACKUP? That could falsify the test. It seems to me that it would be safer to add a check on query ~ 'START_REPLICATION' or something like that. - diag("aborting wait: program timed out"); - diag("stream contents: >>", $$stream, "<<"); - diag("pattern searched for: ", $untl); Keeping some of this information around would be useful for debugging in the refactored routine. +my $sigchld_bb = IPC::Run::start( + [ + @pg_basebackup_defs, '-X', 'stream', '-D', "$tempdir/sigchld", + '-r', '32', '-d', $node->connstr('postgres') + ], I would recommend the use of long options here as a matter to self-document what this does, and add a comment explaining why --max-rate is preferable, mainly for fast machines. -- Michael
