Обсуждение: Testing an extension without installing it

Is it possible to test an C extension module (.so file) without
installing a SHAREDIR/extension/extension_name.control file?

My test suite already runs initdb and the database as a non-postgres
user, but I don't see a way to override the extension control file location.

Well, you could just ignore the extension mechanism: do some
manual CREATE FUNCTION commands and test the functionality
through those.
