mysqltest

Go library to spawn single-use MySQL / MariaDB servers for unit testing

Spawns a MySQL / MariaDB server with a single database configured. Ideal for unit tests where you want a clean instance each time. Then clean up afterwards.

Features:

• Starts a clean isolated MySQL / MariaDB database
• Tested on Fedora and Ubuntu

Usage

In your unit test:

mysql, err := mysqltest.Start()
defer mysql.Stop()

// Do something with mysql.DB (which is a *sql.DB)
