Tests

These tests need a working MySQL Server with permissions/tables set up and passed via ENV as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
#!/bin/bash
# These are the values used if not configured
DBD_MYSQL_DBNAME='test'
DBD_MYSQL_USER=''
DBD_MYSQL_PASSWD=''
DBD_MYSQL_TABLE='tbcdbitest'  #Note: Named table will be dropped if it exists.
</syntaxhighlight>

You should also ensure you have installed:

• dev-perl/Time-Piece-MySQL

However, at this time tests only fail, due to unknown reasons, and so tests are skipped without DBD_MYSQL_DBNAME in ENV

The test sample in RT#41308 works better than the one provided, but its not clear if this indicates a real bug or not. RT#119579 looks pretty sad :/
