Can we enable it through the buildfarm client? Or we could write it into a separate log file. > Would it help to put more whitespace between the status and the timing? prove --timer produces this: [14:21:32] t/001_basic.pl ............ ok 9154 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.01 sys + 2.28 cusr 3.40 csys = 5.69 CPU) [14:21:41] t/002_databases.pl ........ ok 11294 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 2.16 cusr 3.84 csys = 6.00 CPU) [14:21:52] t/003_extrafiles.pl ....... ok 7736 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 1.89 cusr 2.91 csys = 4.80 CPU) [14:22:00] t/004_pg_xlog_symlink.pl .. ok 9035 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 2.03 cusr 3.02 csys = 5.05 CPU) [14:22:09] t/005_same_timeline.pl .... ok 8048 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 0.92 cusr 1.29 csys = 2.21 CPU) which seems quite readable. So maybe something like this: identity ... ok 238 ms partition_join ... ok 429 ms partition_prune ... ok 786 ms reloptions ... ok 94 ms hash_part ... ok 78 ms indexing ... ok 1298 ms partition_aggregate ... ok 727 ms partition_info ... ok 110 ms test event_trigger ... ok 128 ms test fast_default ... ok 173 ms test stats ... ok 637 ms which would be - status(_(" (%.0f ms)"), INSTR_TIME_GET_MILLISEC(stoptimes[i])); + status(_(" %8.0f ms"), INSTR_TIME_GET_MILLISEC(stoptimes[i])); (times two). If we're going to keep this, should we enable the prove --timer option as well? -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
