Add error info when 'unable to init db'

[dor-utila]

Currently, I get this error, without any useful information:

panic: localpg: failed to start PgSQL: unable to init database using: /tmp/go_embedded_pgsql_binaries_3773798719/bin/initdb -A password -U username -D /tmp/go_embedded_pgsql_runtime_2105005878/data --pwfile=/tmp/go_embedded_pgsql_runtime_2105005878/pwfile --locale=en_US.UTF-8

I get this error when I try to run psql.Start()

I am using an alpine 12.6 postgres container

        psql := epsql.NewDatabase(epsql.DefaultConfig().
        Username(username).
        Password(password).
        Port(port).
        RuntimePath(fmt.Sprintf("/tmp/encourage_epsql_%d", getInstanceID())).
        Logger(nil),
    )

    c := make(chan os.Signal)
    signal.Notify(c, os.Interrupt)

    go func() {
        select {
        case sig := <-c:
            fmt.Printf("Got %s signal. Aborting...\n", sig)
            psql.Stop()
            os.Exit(1)
        }
    }()

    err = psql.Start()

go run gen/modelgen/*.go
panic: no version found matching 12.6.0

Hey @OnigiriJack what embedded-postgres version/tag are you running? I assume it's https://github.com/fergusstrange/embedded-postgres/releases/tag/v1.5.0 as I think that matched Postgres 12.6.

Just confirmed this version is from before we had Alpine linux support, which was introduced in the very next version 1.6.0.

There's been lots releases since this even, so I'd recommend trying to stay up to date to get the best support. You can see all releases here.

Thanks
