pgTAP 1.1.0
============
[pgTAP](http://pgtap.org) is a unit testing framework for PostgreSQL written
in PL/pgSQL and PL/SQL. It includes a comprehensive collection of
[TAP](http://testanything.org)-emitting assertion functions, as well as the
ability to integrate with other TAP-emitting test frameworks. It can also be
used in the xUnit testing style. For detailed documentation, see the
documentation in `doc/pgtap.mmd` or
[online](http://pgtap.org/documentation.html "Complete pgTAP Documentation").

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/theory/pgtap.png)](https://travis-ci.org/theory/pgtap)
To build it, just do this:
make
make install
make installcheck
If you encounter an error such as:
"Makefile", line 8: Need an operator
You need to use GNU make, which may well be installed on your system as
`gmake`:
gmake
gmake install
gmake installcheck
If you encounter an error such as:
make: pg_config: Command not found
Or:
Makefile:52: *** pgTAP requires PostgreSQL 8.1 or later. This is . Stop.
Be sure that you have `pg_config` installed and in your path. If you used a
package management system such as RPM to install PostgreSQL, be sure that the
`-devel` package is also installed. If necessary tell the build process where
to find it:
env PG_CONFIG=/path/to/pg_config make && make install && make installcheck
And finally, if all that fails (and if you're on PostgreSQL 8.1, it likely
will), copy the entire distribution directory to the `contrib/` subdirectory
of the PostgreSQL source tree and try it there without `pg_config`:
env NO_PGXS=1 make && make install && make installcheck
If you encounter an error such as:
ERROR: must be owner of database regression
You need to run the test suite using a super user, such as the default
"postgres" super user:
make installcheck PGUSER=postgres
Once pgTAP is installed, you can add it to a database. If you're running
PostgreSQL 9.1.0 or greater, it's a simple as connecting to a database as a
super user and running:
CREATE EXTENSION pgtap;
If you've upgraded your cluster to PostgreSQL 9.1 and already had pgTAP
installed, you can upgrade it to a properly packaged extension with:
CREATE EXTENSION pgtap FROM unpackaged;
For versions of PostgreSQL less than 9.1.0, you'll need to run the
installation script:
psql -d mydb -f /path/to/pgsql/share/contrib/pgtap.sql
If you want to install pgTAP and all of its supporting objects into a
specific schema, use the `PGOPTIONS` environment variable to specify the
schema, like so:
PGOPTIONS=--search_path=tap psql -d mydb -f pgTAP.sql
Dependencies
------------
pgTAP requires PostgreSQL 8.1 or higher, with 8.4 or higher recommended for
full use of its API. It also requires PL/pgSQL.
