Running database tests

Running database tests locally require:

• A systemd based Linux distro.
• A recent version of rkt installed.

The standup.sh script in the SQL directory is used to run databases in containers with systemd daemonizing the process.

$ sudo ./storage/sql/standup.sh create postgres
Starting postgres. To view progress run

  journalctl -fu dex-postgres

Running as unit dex-postgres.service.
To run tests export the following environment variables:

  export DEX_POSTGRES_DATABASE=postgres; export DEX_POSTGRES_USER=postgres; export DEX_POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres; export DEX_POSTGRES_HOST=172.16.28.3:5432

Exporting the variables will cause the database tests to be run, rather than skipped.

$ # sqlite takes forever to compile, be sure to install test dependencies
$ go test -v -i ./storage/sql
$ go test -v ./storage/sql

When you're done, tear down the unit using the standup.sh script.

$ sudo ./storage/sql/standup.sh destroy postgres
