JarCastingJUnit 4 support for Tests against MySQL
This library provides support classes for writing JUnit test against an embedded MySQL instance. The conventional way to use it makes use of JUnit 4 Rules. It basically creates an instance of MySQL, on demand, for testing purposes. It then creates connections to the MySQL database using the standard library (driver) for doing so.
It has additional explicit (optional) support for jdbi and flyway based fixtures.
/**
* A ClassRule will be executed before any tests in the class are run,
* and after all of them are finished.
*/
@ClassRule public static MySQLRule mysql = MySQLRule.global();
/**
* setup() will be run before each test method, and tearDown after
* each test method.
*/
@Rule public MySQLRule.Fixtures fixtures = mysql.createFixtures(new JDBIFixture()
{
@Override
protected void before(final Handle handle)
{
handle.execute("create table something ( id int primary key, name varchar(255) )");
PreparedBatch batch = handle.prepareBatch("insert into something (id, name) values (:id, :name)");
batch.bind("id", 1).bind("name", "Gene").add();
batch.bind("id", 2).bind("name", "Brian").add();
batch.execute();
}
@Override
protected void after(final Handle handle)
{
handle.execute("drop table something");
}
});
This library uses Connector/MXJ to embed MySQL.
