Rails - Aug 2007 - A rather n00by question on rake, from "Build Your Own RoR Applications" by Patrick Lenz

Hi!  I had a question on rake.  I am going through Mr. Lenz''s book, and
have
been coasting through successfully until I hit the section in Ch. 6 on
testing.  At the command line, in my application root, I typed:  $ rake
test:units

My error message was:

daniel-ahns-power-mac-g5:~/Sites/shovell dannyG5$ rake test:units
(in /Users/dannyG5/Sites/shovell)
rake aborted!
#28000Access denied for user
''root''@''localhost'' (using password: NO)

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

It seems as if rake is trying to communicate with mysql -- i put a password
on mysql, though my username is still root.  Do I have to log on to mysql or
somehow provide rake with my mysql password so it can successfully test?
How do I do that?

When I used $ rake db:migrate, everything worked fine, so I''m confused,
as
my mysql knowledge is at a beginner level.

I''m on a G5 OSX 10.4.10, running Ruby 1.8.6, rails 1.2.3, mysql 5.  Any
help
would be greatly appreciated!

Daniel

As you said, there is a password for user "root" on your MySQL DB. You
must
put this password into your config/databas.yml for the test environment.

Once you''ve changed that you can double check:


mysqladmin -u root -p password

But be aware that there must not be a blank between "-p" and your
password.

Hi,

you could also do mysql -u root -p (press enter) and then get a prompt
for password.
this is useful if there are people watching your monitor and you don''t
want to type the pass in clear text.
