WARNING

This repository has been moved to github.com/lestrrat-go/test-mysqld. This repository exists so that libraries pointing to this URL will keep functioning, but this repository will NOT be updated in the future. Please use the new import path.

Create real MySQL server instance for testing

To install, simply issue a go get:

go get github.com/lestrrat/go-test-mysqld

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
