Sorry if I caused a misunderstanding. What I meant was, when the
test_env('PG_TEST_EXTRA') is set, Meson will always use PG_TEST_EXTRA
from the setup. So, Meson needs to be built again to change
PG_TEST_EXTRA.
AFAIK Meson does not support accessing environment variables but
run_command() could be used to test this:
-test_env.set('PG_TEST_EXTRA', get_option('PG_TEST_EXTRA'))
+pg_test_extra_env = run_command(
+ [python,
+ '-c',
+ 'import os; print(os.getenv("PG_TEST_EXTRA", ""))'],
+ check: true).stdout()
+
+test_env.set('PG_TEST_EXTRA', pg_test_extra_env != '' ?
+ pg_test_extra_env :
+ get_option('PG_TEST_EXTRA'))
+
