NAME Test::DB - Temporary Testing Databases ABSTRACT Temporary Databases for Testing SYNOPSIS use Test::DB; my $tdb = Test::DB->new; # my $tdbo = $tdb->create(database => 'sqlite'); # my $dbh = $tdbo->dbh; DESCRIPTION This package provides a framework for setting up and tearing down temporary databases for testing purposes. This framework requires a user (optionally with password) which has the ability to create new databases and works by creating test-specific databases owned by the user specified. Note: Test databases are not automatically destroyed and should be cleaned up manually by call the destroy method on the database-specific test database object. process on create, clone #1 Establish a connection to the DB using some "initial" database. my $tdbo = $tdb->postgres(initial => 'template0'); #2 Using the established connection, create the test/temporary database. $tdbo->create; #3 Establish a connection to the newly created test/temporary database. $tdbo->create->dbh; #4 Make the test database object immutable. $tdbo->create->database('example'); # error on destroy #1 Establish a connection to the DB using the "initial" database. # using the created test/temporary database object #2 Using the established connection, drop the test/temporary database. $tdbo->destroy; usages using DBI #1 my $tdb = Test::DB->new; my $dbh = $tdb->sqlite(%options)->dbh; using DBIx::Class #1 my $tdb = Test::DB->new; my $tdbo = $tdb->postgres(%options)->create; my $schema = DBIx::Class::Schema->connect( dsn => $tdbo->dsn, username => $tdbo->username, password => $tdbo->password, ); using Mojo::mysql #1 my $tdb = Test::DB->new; my $tdbo = $tdb->mysql(%options)->create; my $mysql = Mojo::mysql->new($tdbo->uri); using Mojo::Pg #1 my $tdb = Test::DB->new; my $tdbo = $tdb->postgres(%options)->create; my $postgres = Mojo::Pg->new($tdbo->uri); using Mojo::Pg (with cloning) #1 my $tdb = Test::DB->new; my $tdbo = $tdb->postgres(%options)->clone('template0'); my $postgres = Mojo::Pg->new($tdbo->uri); using Mojo::SQLite #1 my $tdb = Test::DB->new; my $tdbo = $tdb->sqlite(%options)->create; my $sqlite = Mojo::SQLite->new($tdbo->uri); LIBRARIES This package uses type constraints from: Types::Standard METHODS This package implements the following methods: clone clone(Str :$database, Str %options) : Maybe[InstanceOf["Test::DB::Object"]] The clone method generates a database based on the type and database template specified and returns a Test::DB::Object with an active connection, dbh and dsn. If the database specified doesn't have a corresponding database driver this method will returned the undefined value. The type of database can be omitted if the TESTDB_DATABASE environment variable is set, if not the type of database must be either sqlite, mysql, mssql or postgres. Any options provided are passed along to the test database object class constructor. clone example #1 # given: synopsis $ENV{TESTDB_DATABASE} = 'postgres'; $tdb->clone(template => 'template0'); clone example #2 # given: synopsis $ENV{TESTDB_DATABASE} = 'postgres'; $ENV{TESTDB_TEMPLATE} = 'template0'; $tdb->clone; clone example #3 # given: synopsis $ENV{TESTDB_TEMPLATE} = 'template0'; $tdb->clone(database => 'postgres'); create create(Str :$database, Str %options) : Maybe[InstanceOf["Test::DB::Object"]] The create method generates a database based on the type specified and returns a Test::DB::Object with an active connection, dbh and dsn.
