It seems either the database isn't getting created, or it's getting
created but can't be opened for some reason.

Can you try removing the cached databases, running that testcase just
for chert, and then see what the cached database is:

make remove-cached-databases
./runtest ./apitest --verbose topercent2
ls -lR .chert

The output of the above commands would be very useful.

You ought to have a database in .chert/db=apitest_simpledata - if so,
then checking it would be interesting (again send the output):

../bin/xapian-check .chert/db=apitest_simpledata
