test-mysqld

Create real MySQL server instance for testing

DESCRIPTION

By default importing github.com/lestrrat-go/test-mysqld will import package mysqltest

import (
    "database/sql"
    "log"
    "github.com/lestrrat-go/test-mysqld"
)

mysqld, err := mysqltest.NewMysqld(nil)
if err != nil {
   log.Fatalf("Failed to start mysqld: %s", err)
}
defer mysqld.Stop()

db, err := sql.Open("mysql", mysqld.Datasource("test", "", "", 0))
// Now use db, which is connected to a mysql db

go-test-mysqld is a port of Test::mysqld

When you create a new struct via NewMysqld() a new mysqld instance is automatically setup and launched. Don't forget to call Stop() on this struct to stop the launched mysqld

If you want to customize the configuration, create a new config and set each field on the struct:

config := mysqltest.NewConfig()
config.SkipNetworking = false
config.Port = 13306

// Starts mysqld listening on port 13306
mysqld, _ := mysqltest.NewMysqld(config)

Generating DSN

DSN strings can be generated using the DSN method:

// Use default
dsn := mysqld.DSN()

// Pass explicit parameters
dsn := mysqld.DSN(mysqltest.WithUser("foo"), mysqltest.WithPassword("passw0rd!"))

// Tell the mysql driver to parse time values
dsn := mysqld.DSN(mysqltest.WithParseTime(true))

// ...And pass the dsn to sql.Open
db, err := sql.Open("mysql", dsn)

Following is a list of possible parameters to DSN. I
