tests: postgres: try createdb multiple times - #329
Merged
Conversation
I've seen the createdb command fail occasionally in github's CI. Apparently postgres can be in a "starting up" state even after the tcp port is bound: createdb: error: connection to server at "127.0.0.1", port 54321 failed: FATAL: the database system is starting up Make the tests pass reliably by running the createdb command up to 5 times with a 1s sleep between each attempt.
