Hi
I'm developing a DBIx distribution and need to check plenty of SQL in the tests.
My approach is to use SQLite as primary engine, since it comes with the DBD::SQLite module installed and that's not much of a prerequisite (it's even comes bundled with Strawberry Perl!)
My issue is where to put the temporary SQLite file...
- in the distribution's /t directory?
- in the FS's /tmp ? What about other OSes?
- or should I restrict the SQL-testing to the authors system
Those SQLite files don't become big, but I'm not sure about writing stuff into the dist directory.
On a side note:
I want to be able to switch to other DB-Servers while testing. (But now really author's side unless explicitly wanted by the user)
What's the best approach to make this configurable?
- A prove option
- an ENV setting
- a prompt while testing? (DBI can test for available DBD:: drivers)
