running tests against MySQL

[Ken Dreyer]

I'm working on packaging rubygem-riddle and rubygem-thinking-sphinx.
Both gems are designed run the rspec test suites against a live MySQL
server.

Has anyone seen this before? Is it ok to try to do this in mock / koji?

I am not MySQL expert, but I am afraid it might be hard. Have you tried 
to run the test suite against Sqlite instead? That would be more 
lightweight approach.

Thanks Vit for the response. I ended up trying to start MySQL manually
inside %check, and it did not work out. I've commented out my
work-in-progress here [1] .

I briefly considered SQLite, but the problem is that the gem itself
only supports MySQL or Postgresql [2]. So I'd need to write SQLite
support, and I'm afraid that's beyond my expertise :-/
