That does not mean that it starts a new cluster on a port. It means it
will test it against an existing cluster after you have installed into
that cluster.
Yes, that is what I was saying.
It invokes "psql" which is expected to work directly. Note that there
is no temporary installation, it is tested against the installed and
running postgres. Maybe having the ability to create a temporary
installation, as you suggest, would be a nice extension.
Yes, that’s what I would like, so I could test *before* installing.
I would suggest to add that to https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo.
I may look into it when I have time, over the summer. The key point is
that there is no need for a temporary installation, but only of a
temporary cluster, and to trick this cluster into loading the uninstalled
extension, maybe by playing with dynamic_library_path in the temporary
cluster.
