Why does your test infrastructure allow a schema that doesn't match production? Seems like low hanging fruit there!

Sorry - that was a few months ago, we replaced it as soon as feasible. We had to upgrade a lot of tests to make it work with our prod schema

Right. In the best of worlds, your tests just apply the production schema update on start, and similarly you apply checked in schemas ASAP to production after passing tests!
