Setting Up a MySQL Database for Testing in AWS CodeBuild

0

Objective: How can I set up a MySQL database within an AWS CodeBuild environment to conduct tests for my Node.js Express API?

Details:

Environment: Using AWS CodeBuild with the LINUX_CONTAINER environment type. Project: Node.js Express API application. Database: MySQL, managed by Sequelize ORM. Requirements:

Install MySQL client tools for database interaction. Configure MySQL for testing purposes within the build environment. Use environment variables to securely manage database connection details. Integrate database setup within the buildspec.yml file for seamless testing.

Please will need a sample code to this

but here is mine

- sudo yum update -y
    #---[Install Mysql Client (Used for Testing) -> (apt-get||yum)]---#
    - sudo yum install mysql-server mysql-client

This should do the trick Remember to configure your Sequelize ORM to connect to this test database when running in the AWS CodeBuild environment. You can use environment variables to manage your database connection details securely.

    You have to personalize the names in the buildspec with the name of your instances (MySQL instance and DB Name) .
