Sometimes I get the question: How to run a database in %check section of RPM spec file.
Coincidentaly, I just stumbled upon this nice example from qlpi package:
%check
# Running a MariaDB server
MYSQL_TEST_HOST=127.0.0.1
MYSQL_TEST_PORT=3308
MYSQL_TEST_SOCKET=$PWD/mysql.sock
MYSQL_PID_FILE=$PWD/mysql.pid
rm -rf data
mkdir data
# Create the Database
%{_bindir}/mysql_install_db \
--log-error=$PWD/mysql.log \
--datadir=$PWD/data
# Launch the Server
%{_libexecdir}/mysqld \
--socket=$MYSQL_TEST_SOCKET \
--log-error=$PWD/mysql.log \
--pid-file=$MYSQL_PID_FILE \
--port=$MYSQL_TEST_PORT \
--datadir=$PWD/data &
n=15
while [ $n -gt 0 ]; do
RESPONSE=$(%{_bindir}/mysqladmin --no-defaults --socket="$MYSQL_TEST_SOCKET" --user=root ping 2>&1 || :)
if [ "$RESPONSE" == "mysqld is alive" ]; then
break
fi
n=$(expr $n - 1)
sleep 1
done
#Do some tests here
# Cleanup
if [ -s $MYSQL_PID_FILE ]; then
kill $(cat $MYSQL_PID_FILE)
fi
kill $PHPPID || :
Similary for Redis:
%check
REDIS_PORT=7777
redis-server --port $REDIS_PORT &
# do some testing here
redis-cli -p $REDIS_PORT shutdown
