How to remove the suffix "test" in datebase_urls in test env?

Hey :wave:

I have a use-case, where I cannot rename my test-db. Because of this the built-in db-provider uses the wrong database_url, because of the “test”-suffix. How to handle such cases?

I have found the following workaround, but I think we need something else here, don’t you? WDYT?

# slices/my_slice/config/providers/db.rb

MySlice::Slice.configure_provider :db do
  @database_url = "mysql2://blabla"
end

Here’s the line, where the suffix is set:

I’m curious, what is your use-case that prevents you from changing the test db? It should generally be considered ephemeral.

The motivation for using this Hanami::DB::Testing.database_url interface is to provide an extension point for a break-glass scenario like this. We didn’t think this would come up often enough to merit configuration, but you can monkeypatch this method call to change the behavior.

module Hanami::DB::Testing
  def self.database_url(url) = url
end

You are right. My case is really very special. It’s about a rapidly changing test DB, which is not my responsibility.

Thanks for the monkeypatch-example.
