Server start fails at `Gave up waiting for server to start after 10000m`

Hi,
I got below error messages when running unit tests hitting embedded db:

I spent a lot time on this Java.IO exception, including clean up folder /var/folders/dn/37tjhb793bz1lr8j1r8cjj2w0000gp/T/embedded-pg/PG-3d7ce5d05cd575a649dd635576931b19/bin/pg_ctl, still no clue what's the problem. It seems that something is wrong with my local computer settings or maybe bad process leftover. Can you give me some hints?
Thanks

That's 100% not the library and rather the initdb process. Try downloading postgres and running it yourself to see what happens?
