Cannot load MySQL fixtures for ActiveRecord unit tests

rubyonrails-core
1

I'm trying to write a patch for Rails. The ActiveRecord RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS file says that I have to load the MySQL .sql file from test/fixtures/db_defintions, but there is no mysql.sql. There is a connection.rb, but no mention of it in the Rakefile or in the RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS file. How do I load the MySQL fixtures?

Unless this has changed recently I never had to do that. I just created the activerecord_unittest and activerecord_unittest2 databases and gave the rails user access to them and I was good to go

That didn't work for me. I created the databases but got this error: http://pastebin.com/f1f641395

Hmm Frederick is right, that's all I've had to do. If you read the latest RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/ activerecord/RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS) and the connection settings for running tests on MySQL (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/ activerecord/test/connections/native_mysql/connection.rb), you pretty much create the 'activerecord_unittest' and 'activerecord_unittest2' databases and grant the 'rails' user all privileges and you're good to go.

What steps have you done? Perhaps that'd help us to find out what your problem is.

I am having the same problem.

I created the rails user I created the two databases:   mysqladmin -uroot create activerecord_unittest   mysqladmin -uroot create activerecord_unittest I granted permissions:   mysql -uroot   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON activerecord_unittest.* to 'rails'@'localhost';   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON activerecord_unittest2.* to 'rails'@'localhost';

I run the test:   rake test_mysql

And I get the exact same error.

the second was   mysqladmin -uroot create activerecord_unittest2

Hmm could be due to this reported bug: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10348

Try doing these steps first like the reporter suggests: rake mysql:build_databases rake test_mysql TEST=aaa_create_tables_test.rb

I've done exactly what the file says. 1. I created the databases activerecord_unittest and activerecord_unittest2. 2. I added a user account for MySQL, as specified in connection.rb. 3. I granted ALL PRIVILEGES to that account to the created databases. 4. rake test_mysql 5. See the test fail.

Yes this fixed my problem.
