I have a CodeIgniter Web app connected with Mysql that is developed in the docker. I would like to do some unit test in the GitHub action fo ci/cd pipeline. The problem is some of the function would require enquiry data from Mysql database. So may I know if there is a way to setup a MySQL instance on Github action and run some .sql file so that my test data is in the database?

You can use GitHub Actions service containers to connect to databases like mysql. You can find details at https://docs.github.com/en/actions/guides/about-service-containers
I think this script can help people to conduct unit test with MySQL database and a .sql script file to load table schema and data on Github action. I am using Codeigniter 4 with Mysql. But the process of setting up a database would be similar as long as you are using MySQL.
name: CI Pipeline
on:
push:
branches: [ main ]
pull_request:
branches: [ main ]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Build the Docker image
run: docker-compose build
- name: up mysql and apache container runs
run: docker-compose up -d
#I am using codeIgniter4
- name: install dependencies
run: docker exec CI4_1 php composer.phar install
- name: buffering time for db container
uses: jakejarvis/wait-action@master
with:
time: '30s'
#db_1 is the name of database
- name: load database
run: docker exec -i mysql_1 mysql -uroot -proot db_1< ./testDatabase.sql
- name: unit test
run: docker exec CI4_1 ./vendor/bin/phpunit
