failing tests - misconfiguration debugging #141
Description
This is not a bug (I think), I'm looking for a bit of tech support.
I'm using postgresql 17.6 along with psqlodbc 17.00.0006, using Yocto. I try to execute the testsuite - I managed to run most, but two tests (lfconversion and result-conversions) fail, and I'm a bit lost. Not sure where to start debugging it.
Both tests complain about "Received an unsupported type from Postgres"

I guess I have some wrong configuration somewhere or missing/wrong environment variable, but I'm not really sure where to start looking, what should I try. Could someone please give some pointers?

so are you using Yocto to build postgres, psqlodbc ?
It passes fine on my macos using standard tools
OldManYellsAtCloud commentedon Nov 3, 2025
Yes, both of them are built with Yocto. I do not believe that this is an issue with the tests, with psqlodbc nor with postgres - rather some mismatched config between the two that is currently beyond me
