Running Populator Specs¶ ↑

To prepare the specs, run the following commands.

bundle
cp spec/example_database.yml spec/database.yml

Configure the database.yml file to work with your databases. You can add and remove entries here as well to test different databases. A rake task is available to run the specs for each database.

rake spec             # Run specs under all databases
rake spec:mysql       # Run specs under mysql
rake spec:sqlite3     # Run specs under sqlite3
rake spec:postgresql  # Run specs under postgresql
...

Don’t forget to create the user and database as necessary. You can do so under MySQL with these commands.

CREATE DATABASE populator_test;
GRANT ALL ON populator_test.* TO populator@localhost;
