ergo: Create MySQL subprocess instead of using external DB #170
Conversation
This statement was a no-op, given the value defined in BASE_CONFIG
This starts each test with a clean database, so we can remove chan/nick randomization from stateful tests (chathistory and roleplay). It will also allow testing Ergo with a MySQL backend for the KV store instead of buntdb. Additionally, this makes it much easier to run these tests, than having to manually configure such a database.

This works on my system now, but is extremely slow: total Ergo suite execution time goes from 30s to 4m30s. It seems to me like this negates any advantage in convenience from not having to set up one's own database. Maybe we could add an ergo subcommand that truncates the MySQL-backed KV store? It could take a randomly generated confirmation code to guard against accident. |

This wouldn't support running tests in parallel. It's not a big deal with Ergo at the moment, but still speeds up the test suite on my machine |
actually, this would work, I would just need to setup per-process databases |

In #176 I solved this by configuring the controlled process to use a different table prefix on every run. |
