Rails database setup on Travis-CI

Question

I\'m trying to use Travis Continuous Integration on a Rails project. The documentation says that the test db must be configured as following for SQLite3:

test:
          


        

Answer 1

@mrm's blog post doesn't say anything about answering your question. I faced the same problem where my postgreql credentials are different on my local machine than travis default. This is the simplest solution I came up with:

# config/database.yml
test:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: medscraper_test
  username: <%= ENV['TRAVIS'] ? 'postgres' : 'MY_TEST_USERNAME' %>
  password: <%= ENV['TRAVIS'] ? '' : 'MY_TEST_PASSWORD' %>

Note that Travis CI automatically sets TRAVIS environment variable. Your solution would be:

# config/database.yml
test:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: <%= ENV['TRAVIS'] ? '":memory:"' : 'db/test.sqlite3' %>
  timeout: 500
