Tests

Overview

Npgsql comes with an extensive test suite to make sure no regressions occur. All tests are run on our build server on all supported .NET versions (including a recent version of mono) and all supported PostgreSQL backends.

There is also a growing suite of speed tests to be able to measure performance. These tests are currently marked [Explicit] and aren't executed automatically.

Simple setup

The Npgsql test suite requires a PostgreSQL backend to test against. Simply use the latest version of PostgreSQL on your dev machine on the default port (5432). By default, all tests will be run using user npgsql_tests, and password npgsql_tests. Npgsql will automatically create a database called npgsql_tests and run its tests against this.

To set this up, connect to PostgreSQL as the admin user as follows:

psql -h localhost -U postgres
<enter the admin password>
create user npgsql_tests password 'npgsql_tests' superuser;

And you're done.

Superuser access is needed for some tests, e.g. loading the hstore extension, creating and dropping test databases in the Entity Framework tests...
