Revert "Tests now require MySQL2 adapter in order to run"
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Reason: Setting up MySQL and Postgres needs installing servers
and libraries that perhaps you don't need in your machine. We
think fixing a bug in Active Support without running the suite
of Active Record for all possible drivers is OK. That's why
we explain first --without db, and after that we cover AR
specifically. mysql2 is no different than mysql or pg in that
sense.

This reverts commit 50d5e0f.

We need first to delete +.bundle/config+ because Bundler remembers in that file that we didn't want to install the "db" group (alternatively you can edit the file).

In order to be able to run the test suite against MySQL you need to create a user named +rails+ with privileges on the test databases:
