Now when initializing the test database for sql tests, it will load the colors persona data into the database. This will provide a data set that tests can use without needing to call `wtt_load`. The main motivation is to allow for a separation of setup and test execution that requires crossing a transaction boundary. The pgTap tests are required to exectue as a single transaction, so that the rollback can reset the state, and each test can be isolated. However, can cause issues with some test senarios, particuarly with the use of some times releated functions like `current_timestamp` and `now` which return the time that the current transaction started. This creates an issue if a test relies on some setup that sets a time via `now`, then an update that expects a new time via `now`.

db package
Usage
Just some high-level usage highlights to get you started. Read the godocs for a complete list of capabilities and their documentation.
conn, _ := gorm.Open("postgres", url)
// Db implements both the Reader and Writer interfaces
rw := Db{Tx: conn}
// There are writer methods like: Create, Update and Delete
// that will write Gorm struct to the db. These writer methods
// all support options for writing Oplog entries for the
// caller: WithOplog(yourWrapper, yourMetadata)
// the caller is responsible for the transaction life cycle of the writer
// and if an error is returned the caller must decide what to do with
// the transaction, which is almost always a rollback for the caller.
err = rw.Create(context.Background(), user)
// There are reader methods like: LookupByPublicId,
// LookupByName, SearchBy, LookupBy, etc
// which will lookup resources for you and scan them into your Gorm struct
err = rw.LookupByPublicId(context.Background(), foundUser)
// There's reader ScanRows that facilitates scanning rows from
// a query into your Gorm struct
where := "select * from test_users where name in ($1, $2)"
rows, err := rw.Query(context.Background(), where, []interface{}{"alice", "bob"})
defer rows.Close()
for rows.Next() {
user := db_test.NewTestUser()
// scan the row into your Gorm struct
if err := rw.ScanRows(rows, &user); err != nil {
return err
}
// Do something with the Gorm user struct
}
// DoTx is a writer function that wraps a TxHandler
// in a retryable transaction. You simply implement a
// TxHandler that does your writes and hand the handler
// to DoTx, which will wrap the writes in a retryable
// transaction with the retry attempts and backoff
// strategy you specify via options.
_, err = w.DoTx(
context.Background(),
10, // ten retries
ExpBackoff{}, // exponential backoff
func(w Writer) error {
// the TxHandler updates the user's friendly name
return w.Update(context.Background(), user, []string{"FriendlyName"},
// write oplogs for this update
WithOplog(
InitTestWrapper(t),
oplog.Metadata{
"key-only": nil,
"deployment": []string{"amex"},
"project": []string{"central-info-systems", "local-info-systems"},
},
),
