The result is always in "pretty"-format (with newlines), regardless of whether `pretty_bool` is true or false. Calling `pg_get_constraintdef(constraint_oid)` without `pretty_bool`, also returns "pretty"-format.
This is not a bug, but a deliberate change which was made in 62e666400d back in
2013, the argument being that changes in whitespace should not affect forward
compatibility.

Surely SA has been updated to work with more recent version of postgres? I've
not used SA myself, but are you sure you are using the right version of the
tool?
