Run the tests#

Install tox.
Run a supported version of MySQL or MariaDB. This is easiest with the official Docker images. For example:
```
docker run --detach --name mariadb -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=hunter2 --publish 3306:3306 mariadb:10.7
```
Run the tests by passing environment variables with your connection parameters. For the above Docker command:
```
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_USER=root DB_PASSWORD='hunter2' tox -e py310-django40
```

tox environments are split per Python and Django version.

You can run a subset of tests by passing them after -- like:
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_USER=root DB_PASSWORD='hunter2' tox -e py310-django40 -- tests/testapp/test_cache.py
You can also pass other pytest arguments after the --.
