Replace Perl Locale update with LANG env setting #93

Eprince-hub · 2024-08-02T15:46:10Z

Closes #47

The solution provided in #80 caused a new error postmaster became multithreaded during startup as postgres server could not be started in macOS terminal if the LANG locale is not set. This was not noticed during the PR because the iTerm2 used for the testing sets the LANG locale automatically but the macOS terminal does not.

The FATAL: postmaster became multithreaded during startup error could be caused by anything, but these are the things we know now so far

When the LANG environment variable is unset to LANG= or LANG="", the above error will occur. When running Postgres from iTerm2, this error doesn't occur because iTerm2 sets this LANG environment variable by default using the system language setting
iTerm2 had an initial value of en_GB.UTF-8, which is my system's primary language setting for all locale
This error occurs in the macOS terminal when running Postgres because the LANG is unset by default.
Setting the LANG in the macOS terminal fixed the issue, and Postgres could run without any problem
Unsetting the LANG in the iTerm2 terminal causes the error to also occur there
When LANG is set, other LC_ variables use the value assigned to it
When LANG is unset, other LC_ variables will have a default value of C

Solutions: setting the `LANG`

After checking all the systems, I realized that setting the LANG to English and recommended encoding (export LANG=en_US.UTF-8) will make Postgres use these values and encoding which will solve the postmaster multithreaded error and also make postgres ignore the values of the lc_messages and the lc_timeset in thepostgresql.conf` file which makes this PR #80 obsolete.
Postgres will only default to the values in postgresql.conf file if none of these are set (LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE, LANG)

probably we should keep the \n at the beginning, in case the config file doesn't have a newline at the end of the file

Keeping the \n without the -e flag works in macOS but not on Windows and Linux because new line is handled differently on those systems

echo "\n" vs echo -e "\n"

These commands produce different results on macOS than on others

We can add the \n only for the macOS script

If I want to use the first \n on other systems, I can do something like this, but I don't see the need apart from making everything look the same. We can have the new line for macOS and have the -e for other systems

seems like these previous export commands should be also moved to this line?

I decided to have all the echo commands for all systems separated into multiple commands as this would make it clear for the students to understand what they are running and what it is doing
