It depends on what do you want to test. You could write a simple test
in postgres_fdw or file_fdw where you specify the same handler as
CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER command (basically a no-op) to check
whether the command succeeds. If you want to do any more serious
testing, it will require defining at some of the FDW hooks that will
be returned by the handler, and then exercising those hooks.
