cannot connect to db

[marcosdipaolo]

Hi, my app is using a dockerized db which exposes port 3306 to the outside world, so it's basically the same as mysql installed locally as a service.

My API is connecting with no problems to the database. It uses thus data:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_USER=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

but when passing the app to supertest and making a request i get:

"Access denied for user 'root'@'172.17.0.1' (using password: NO)"

i wonder why it isn't connecting to the db as the app does?

It's an node api built with node, express and sequelize

I was not aware that jest sets the NODE_ENV variable even if you have it set in the .env file
