[Bug]: PG17 Broken Docker Hydra's pipeline for tests

[ivan-v-kush]

What's wrong?

When compile for PG17, Docker Hydra's pipeline is broken for tests.

#272 (comment)

I try to launch tests using Docker, modified for this docker-build.sh. Added --target checker to launch checker stage.

docker build  --progress=plain --target checker -t $REPO:$TAG .

And got an error:

# initializing database system by copying initdb template
# copying of initdb template failed
# Examine "/columnar/src/test/regress/log/initdb.log" for the reason.
# Command was: cp -RPp "/tmp_install/initdb-template" "/columnar/src/test/regress/tmp_check/data" > "/columnar/src/test/regress/log/initdb.log" 2>&1
Bail out!make[1]: *** [Makefile:27: check-regression-columnar] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/columnar/src/test/regress'
make: *** [Makefile:49: check-all] Error 2

initdb.log contains

cp: cannot stat '/tmp_install/initdb-template': No such file or directory

I tried manually to launch installcheck, but nothing to be done

make -C /columnar installcheck USE_PGXS=1  PG_CONFIG=/usr/lib/postgresql/17/bin/pg_config
make: Entering directory '/columnar'
make: Nothing to be done for 'installcheck'.
make: Leaving directory '/columnar'

Steps:

# prepare cluster
su - postgres -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/17/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/postgresql/17/data'
su - postgres -c "/usr/lib/postgresql/17/bin/pg_ctl -D  /var/lib/postgresql/17/data stop"

# compile
make -C /columnar clean all USE_PGXS=1  PG_CONFIG=/usr/lib/postgresql/17/bin/pg_config
make -C /columnar install USE_PGXS=1  PG_CONFIG=/usr/lib/postgresql/17/bin/pg_config

# launch cluster
su - postgres -c "/usr/lib/postgresql/17/bin/pg_ctl -D  /var/lib/postgresql/17/data -l logfile -w start"

# launch test
make -C /columnar installcheck USE_PGXS=1  PG_CONFIG=/usr/lib/postgresql/17/bin/pg_config
