MySQL instructions for FXA testing
Raw
doc.md

MySQL setup

Install MySQL

Mac

Installation is easy with homebrew. I use mariadb which is a fork of mysql but either should work.

brew install mariadb

Follow the homebrew instructions for starting the server. I usually just do

mysql.server start

Linux

Install MySQL and start it.

Execution

Our test suite assumes the database uses it's default configuration. See config/config.js for the override ENV variables. Now you should be able to run the test suite from the project root directory.

DB_BACKEND=mysql npm test

Or run the local server

DB_BACKEND=mysql npm start

Cleanup

You may want to clear the data from the database periodically. I just drop the database.

mysql -uroot -e"DROP DATABASE picl"
