I tried this a few days ago, and one big problem is System Integrity Protection. Having this enabled will reset DYDL_LIBRARY_PATH, which is required while running the tests. Also see the upstream discussion.

One thing to work around that would be to move the tests to the install check phase, i.e.

doCheck = false;
doInstallCheck = true;
installCheckTarget = "check";

I have not succeeded with that though. So before tests can be enabled for darwin, this needs to be sorted out, too.

@wolfgangwalther hey, thank you for response.

With a change to sandbox ( PR in description ) postgresql with doCheck = true; builds fine ( although I didn't check if it ran tests )

You can run csrutil status. If it says something else than just System Integrity Protection status: enabled... then it's not.
