We have an integration test which requires spawning a "mysql" db, initialize it and then go through the process of creating a zone, etc. This allows us to test the plugin against the API. The drawback is that this test takes a bit to spawn the mysql db... Does anyone have a recipe to run against an in-memory database for testing purposes ? > > Pedro, does this work for you?
