Unable to run on Windows about otj-pg-embedded HOT 8 CLOSED

I ran into issues while on mac with
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Postgres binary found for Darwin / x86_64

from otj-pg-embedded.

I'd happily accept a PR to fix these issues, but unfortunately I don't use Windows at all so I'm not likely to personally fix it.

I don't use Windows regularly either, but a few of our developers do so I was testing it out on a Windows VM. Aside from the Postgres process occasionally not shutting down in between test runs I've had no issues on Mac.

I would like to fix the issue, however, I don't see an option to create branch for it (and I am not used to work with github). Do I need some permissions to be able to do that?

If you fork the repository (top right button) and create the branch there, you can then create a pull request back to this repository.

I have modified the code to support windows along with 64bit windows binary. Please see #13

from otj-pg-embedded.

Our developers are forced to work on Windows 7 (company policy). For their daily work they also need admin-rights. Nonetheless, they would like to be able to execute tests with Embedded Postgres.

In the current version, they get the following error message:

The server must be started under an unprivileged user ID to prevent
possible system security compromises. See the documentation for
more information on how to properly start the server.

A possible workaround which we have been successfully for the last 14 days uses pg_ctl instead of postgres to start the postgres service. Please see #15

from otj-pg-embedded.

Will be part of 0.7.0 release
