Replace sqlmock-based unit tests with integration tests using real PostgreSQL and MySQL databases via Docker Compose. This provides more accurate testing by validating actual SQL queries and database behavior against production-like environments.

Changes:

  • Add docker-compose.test.yml for test database infrastructure (PostgreSQL on 5433, MySQL on 3307)
  • Create testutil/database.go with helpers for database setup, migrations, and cleanup
  • Update all repository tests to use real databases instead of sqlmock
  • Remove go-sqlmock dependency from go.mod
  • Add Makefile targets: test-db-up, test-db-down, test-with-db
  • Update CI workflow to run both PostgreSQL and MySQL services for comprehensive testing
  • Update README with detailed testing documentation and best practices

Benefits:

  • Tests verify actual SQL queries work correctly with real databases
  • Catches database-specific issues (constraints, types, unique violations)
  • No mock expectations to maintain
  • Tests reflect production behavior accurately
  • Full database integration coverage with ~15 second test suite execution
