template1=# \l
                              List of databases
   Name    │ Owner │ Encoding │   Collate   │    Ctype    │ Access privileges
───────────┼───────┼──────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼───────────────────
 postgres  │ jd    │ UTF8     │ en_US.UTF-8 │ en_US.UTF-8 │
 template0 │ jd    │ UTF8     │ en_US.UTF-8 │ en_US.UTF-8 │ =c/jd            ↵
           │       │          │             │             │ jd=CTc/jd
 template1 │ jd    │ UTF8     │ en_US.UTF-8 │ en_US.UTF-8 │ =c/jd            ↵
           │       │          │             │             │ jd=CTc/jd

template1=# \q
I: stopping postgresql
I: stopped postgresql

You can also source overtest itself in one of your script. It will set the environment up, and will clean as soon as your script exit:

#!/bin/bash
source overtest postgresql
# Do something with PostgreSQL
# The script will clean things for you

Environment variables

Overtest exports a few environment variable:

  • OVERTEST_DAEMON which contains the name of the daemon launched

  • OVERTEST_URL which contains the URL to the daemon

  • OVERTEST_$daemon_* variables, which contains daemon specific variables, such as port, database name, URL, etc.

Driver specific options

Redis

The sentinel mode of Redis can be enabled by setting the environment variable OVERTEST_REDIS_SENTINEL_ENABLE to any value.
