Testing with MySQL via Docker

Use the included Docker Compose stack to run the test suite against MySQL.

1. Start MySQL

docker compose up -d

Wait for the container to be healthy (or a few seconds), then confirm:

docker compose ps

Connection details (used below):

Setting	Value
Host	localhost
Port	3306
Database	dao_test
User	dao
Password	dao

2. Point the test app at MySQL

In tests/Application.cfc, set this.datasource to "dao_mysql" (the dao_mysql entry is already in the this.datasources block). Restart and run tests:

box server restart
box testbox run

The first line of output should show Database: mysql.

3. Stop MySQL

docker compose down
