The topology_comments.sql is autogenerated from the xml docs.

 

To fix it, you need to fix the references in the docs

ology.xml

 

e.g. I am not sure which one you are working on but for example this one if
you needed the edge to be bigint

Need to change the input integer to bigint  and the output to bigint, though

Thanks.

 

I am facing a more interesting challenge. The topology_comments.sql needs to
be updated, so that it references int8 (bigint) instead of integer for a few
functions that need to be updated.

 

How do I trigger the comment rebuild. I have been stuck on a test for over
2/3 hours cause the comment on the function no longer lines up with the new
signature for the function.

For Topology we only have "regress tests", which can be run with the
regress/run_test.pl script (run with no args to get help text)

Example run of a single test from a build dir:

  ${srcdir}/regress/run_test.pl \
    --topology \
    -v \
    ${srcdir}/topology/test/regress/createtopology

You'll need to have run `make staged-install` before, for the test
script to find the postgis libraries and enabler scripts.

Makes sense.
