Build Status

Fixtures Manager MySQL Driver

An abstraction layer for the mysql package to facilitate handling database fixtures for testing purposes, in a MySQL database. This package is ment to be used in conjunction with the dbfixtures package, but can also be used by itself.

Installation

npm install --save-dev dbfixtures-mysql-driver

NodeJS versions

  • Package version >=1.1.* supports NodeJS v8 or higher.
    NOTE: For versions 8 and 9 the node flag --harmony_promise_finally is required

  • Package version 1.0.* supports NodeJS v7 or higher.

Usage

This package exposes the create(connectionOptions: string | ConnectionConfig): Promise<IDriver> function that returns a Promise that resolves with an instance of the driver. Note: For detailed information about the connectionOptions argument, please consult these connection options.

An instance of the driver exposes the following interface

// truncates the tables with the supplied names, ignoring foreign key constraints
truncate: (tableNames: string[]) => Promise<void>

// inserts the supplied rows into the specified table, respecting foreign key constraints
insertFixtures: (tableName: string, fixtures: [{}]) => Promise<void>

// terminates the connection to the database
close: () => Promise<void>

Example

This example uses Mocha as the potential test runner.

const dbfixtures = require('dbfixtures');
const fixturesMysqlDriver = require('dbfixtures-mysql-driver');

const mysqlConnectionInfo = {
  host: 'localhost',
  port: '3306',
  user: 'root',
  password: '',
  database: 'fixtures_test',
};
const fixtures = {
  'roles': [
    { id: 1, name: 'role 1' },
    { id: 2, name: 'role 2' },
  ],
  'users': [
    { id: 1, email: 'myemail@test.net', role_id: 2 },
    { id: 2, email: 'test@gmail.com', role_id: 1 },
    { id: 3, email: 'another@email.org', role_id: 1 },
  ],
};

describe('fixtures example', function () {
  before(async function () {
    const mysqlDriver = await fixturesMysqlDriver.create(mysqlConnectionInfo);
    dbfixtures.setDrivers(mysqlDriver);
  });

  after(async function () {
    await dbfixtures.closeDrivers();
  });

  beforeEach(async function () {
    await dbfixtures.insertFixtures(fixtures);
  });

  it('should have the database seeded with the fixtures', function () {
    // ...
  });
});

Testing This Package

  • cd into the package's directory

  • run npm install

  • for unit tests run npm test -- test\unit\

  • for integration tests run npm test -- test\integration\
    NOTE: requires an active MySQL server available through localhost:3306 and with the expected setup (see below)

  • for end-to-end tests run npm test -- test\e2e\
    NOTE: requires an active MySQL server available through localhost:3306 and with the expected setup (see below)

Required database setup

The integration and end-to-end tests the database server needs to have an initial setup that creates the database and tables used in the tests.
A shell script is provided in the test/db_setup/ directory with the commands that need to be executed in the database server to correctly set it up for the tests.

Suggestion to setting up a MySQL server on your local machine

If you are using Docker, you can run the CLI command docker run --name testmysql -p 127.0.0.1:3306:3306/tcp -e MYSQL_DATABASE=fixtures_test -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes -v absolute-path-to-project/test/db_setup/:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ -d mariadb:10 to raise a container with the MariaDB v10.* image and make it available through localhost:3306.

NOTE: Replace absolute-path-to-project with the absolute path to the root of the repository clone in your machine.
