The SideBySide project is intended to verify that MySqlConnector doesn't break compatibility
with Connector/NET and that known bugs have been fixed.
The tests require a MySQL server. The simplest way to run one is with Docker:
docker run -d --rm --name mysqlconnector -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=pass -p 3306:3306 mysql:5.7 --max-allowed-packet=96M --character-set-server=utf8mb4
Copy the file SideBySide/config.json.example to SideBySide/config.json, then edit
the config.json file in order to connect to your server. If you are using the Docker
command above, then the default options will work and do not need to be modified.
Otherwise, set the following options appropriately:
Data.ConnectionString: The full connection string to your server. You should specify a database name. If the database does not exist, the test will attempt to create it.Data.PasswordlessUser: (Optional) A user account in your database with no password and no roles.Data.SecondaryDatabase: (Optional) A second database on your server that the test user has permission to access.Data.CertificatesPath: (Optional) The absolute path to the server and client certificates folder (i.e., the.ci/server/certsfolder in this repo).Data.MySqlBulkLoaderLocalCsvFile: (Optional) The path to a test CSV file.Data.MySqlBulkLoaderLocalTsvFile: (Optional) The path to a test TSV file.Data.UnsupportedFeatures: A comma-delimited list ofServerFeatureenum values that your test database server does not supportCachingSha2Password: a user namedcaching-sha2-userexists on your server and uses thecaching_sha2_passwordauth pluginEd25519: a user nameded25519userexists on your server and uses theclient_ed25519auth pluginErrorCodes: server returns error codes in error packet (some MySQL proxies do not)Json: theJSONdata type (MySQL 5.7 and later)LargePackets: large packets (over 4MB)RoundDateTime: server roundsdatetimevalues to the specified precision (not implemented in MariaDB)RsaEncryption: server supports RSA public key encryption (forsha256_passwordandcaching_sha2_password)SessionTrack: server supportsCLIENT_SESSION_TRACKcapability (MySQL 5.7 and later)Sha256Password: a user namedsha256userexists on your server and uses thesha256_passwordauth pluginStoredProcedures: create and execute stored proceduresTimeout: server can cancel queries promptly (so timed tests don't time out)Tls11: server supports TLS 1.1Tls12: server supports TLS 1.2Tls13: server supports TLS 1.3UnixDomainSocket: server is accessible via a Unix domain socketUuidToBin: server supportsUUID_TO_BIN(MySQL 8.0 and later)
There are two ways to run the tests: command line and Visual Studio.
After building the solution, you should see a list of tests in the Test Explorer. Click "Run All" to run them.
To run the tests against MySqlConnector:
cd tests\SideBySide
dotnet test -c Release
To run the tests against MySql.Data:
cd tests\SideBySide
dotnet restore /p:Configuration=Baseline && dotnet test -c Baseline
