Comment on Test Postgres in Python Like SQLite

Comments

This seems great but:

The library automatically manages PGlite npm dependencies.

I'm sorry what? Please don't do this. There is no way you can do this in a way that:

(a) is compatible with every pre-existing in-repo NodeJS setup

(b) plays nicely with all SCA automation configurations (Dependabot, etc.)

---

Edit:

After closer inspection there's a config[0] to disable this which defaults to True, but no documentation on how to manage required Node deps when setting that value to false.

I would strongly suggest the authors default this to False with accompanying docs in the README

Overall though I do like the simplicity & readability of the codebase - it makes these gotchas really easy to find & verify even without docs - will definitely be using this.
