## Setting Up

A number of the tests use a running database.
In order to set up the database edit the details for the `tests` group in
**app/Config/Database.php** or **phpunit.xml**.
The default configuration uses SQLite3 transient in-memory database, so it works if you can use SQLite3.

In order to change the database for testing, edit the details for the `tests` group in
**app/Config/Database.php** or **phpunit.xml** or use **.env** file.

E.g.:
```
database.tests.hostname = localhost
database.tests.database = ci4_test
database.tests.username = root
database.tests.password = root
database.tests.DBDriver = MySQLi
database.tests.DBPrefix = db_
database.default.port = 3306
```

Make sure that you provide a database engine that is currently running on your machine.

More details on a test database setup are in the
[Testing Your Database](https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgniter4/testing/database.html) section of the documentation.
