Changes for version 3.32 - 2016-05-11

  • Fixed quoting of default values output by `pg_tapgen`, thanks to a pull request from Rodolphe QuiĆ©deville (#7).
  • Various fixes and imrovements to `pg_tapgen`, including:
    • Added `--create-extension` and `--no-create-extension` options to include or exclude the `CREATE EXTENSION pgtap` statement in the generated test files.
    • Fixed a bug taht threw an error when no database connection options were specified.
    • Added support for the $PGPASSWORD environment variable.
    • The emitted test scripts now include an appropriate plan that counts assertions, rather than `no_plan`, thanks to @slaught.
    • Added a number of additional tests to the emitted tests scripts, again thanks to @slaught, including:
      • Foreign table tests
      • Materialized view tests
      • Object ownership tests
    • Column tests now explicitly specify the table schema and test descriptions, thanks to @slaught.
    • The column default tests now work properly with default values that include strings inside function calls, such as `nextval(''artist_id_seq'')`.
  • Refactored `pg_prove` to better follow the interface provided by App::Prove. This improves option processing, notably single-letter option bundling now works properly.
