Few comments:
1.
+ # Ensure a transactional logical decoding message shows up on the slot
+ $node_subscriber->safe_psql('postgres', "ALTER SUBSCRIPTION tap_sub DISABLE");
After you have encapsulated this command in the function, the above
comment doesn't make sense because we do this for both transactional
and non-transactional messages. I suggest we can change it to
something like: "This is done to ensure a logical decoding message is
shown up on the slot".
2.
+# Setup the subscription before checking pg_logical_slot_peek_binary_changes
+sub setup_subscription
I think here the functionality is more for the catchup of
subscription, so it might be better to name the function as
subscription_catchup or catchup_subscription. I think you can expand
the comments atop this function a bit as suggested by Michael.
