setup on GitHub actions

[waigel]

Hello,
we would automate our tests built on the mongodb-memory-server with GitHub actions. Unfortunately we get an undefined response back for each database request and later a timeout.
So the question, is it possible to integrate the server into a GitHub action workflow and if so what configuration needs to be done for that.
Thank you 😄

it is possible, because this package uses github actions to test itself, and a (production ready) example can be seen with the project typegoose which uses this package

most relevant parts from typegoose's example:

• workflow file
• jest config
• global setup
• global teardown
• setup file
• mongoose connect util

• Integration Examples: Test Runners
• Integration Examples: Docker

PS: i will convert this issue to a discussion

Unfortunately we get an undefined response back for each database request and later a timeout.

if it still happens after looking at the examples and changing what is "obvious", please provide a reproduction repository (or the actual repository where it happens, if possible) and / or the error

Hi, how do i structure my ymal file for this to work?

i do not understand your question, what exactly do you need to know, cache behavior / storage paths or how / when a binary gets installed?
