Hi I posted this on rails-core (hoping that was more development oriented), but got no responses, so I figured I''d try here. I''d like to submit a patch and am following the steps on this page: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ Here''s what I did (using mysql 5.0.15-nt): created 2 databases: activerecord_unittest activerecord_unittest2 created 1 user: rails (giving all priveleges to both databases) ran $RAILS_HOME/activerecord\test\fixtures\db_definitions\mysql.sql on activerecord_unittest ran $RAILS_HOME/activerecord\test\fixtures\db_definitions\mysql2.sql on activerecord_unittest2 modified $RAILS_HOME/activerecord\test\connections\native_mysql/connect.rb accordingly I removed all my local changes, so I''m running with a pristine copy of the current trunk. cd $RAILS_HOME/activerecord rake test_mysql below I posted the output I received. Is this correct or should all tests pass? I am assuming I''ve got something screwed up? Anyone have any idea?
