BTW, as far as that goes, we do: see for instance the tail end of https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=desmoxytes&dt=2020-01-02%2020%3A04%3A03 ok 8 - offer multiple table choices ok 9 - finish completion of one of multiple table choices ok 10 - \r works not ok 11 - complete \DRD<tab> to \drds # Failed test 'complete \DRD<tab> to \drds' # at t/010_tab_completion.pl line 64. # Actual output was "\DRD" ok 12 - \r works Not sure why you are not seeing the "Actual output" bit in your log. I used a "note" command to print it, maybe that's not best practice? Also, while I'm asking for Perl advice: I can see in my editor that there's a control-G bell character in that string, but this is far from obvious on the web page. I'd kind of like to get the report to escapify control characters so that what comes out is more like # Actual output was "\DRD^G" or # Actual output was "\\DRD\007" or some such. Anybody know an easy way to do that in Perl? regards, tom lane
