Hey All,
I’m having an issue setting up Github actions. I’ve found this helpful link for standard elixir workflow .yml files: GitHub - actions/setup-elixir: Set up your GitHub Actions workflow with OTP and Elixir · GitHub
Here is my current elixir.yml
name: Elixir CI
on: push
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
services:
db:
image: postgres:11
ports: ['5432:5432']
options: >-
--health-cmd pg_isready
--health-interval 10s
--health-timeout 5s
--health-retries 5
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1.0.0
- uses: actions/setup-elixir@v1.0.0
with:
otp-version: 22.x
elixir-version: 1.9.2
- run: mix deps.get
- run: mix test
But when this runs I’m getting this error during the mix test portion:
01:16:43.654 [error] GenServer #PID<0.7572.0> terminating
** (Postgrex.Error) FATAL 28000 (invalid_authorization_specification) role "runner" does not exist
(db_connection) lib/db_connection/connection.ex:87: DBConnection.Connection.connect/2
(connection) lib/connection.ex:622: Connection.enter_connect/5

Last message: nil
** (Mix) The database for Statcasters.Repo couldn't be created: killed
##[error]Process completed with exit code 1.
Can anybody help me understand what is going on here? Thank you!

@Cam Did you get it fixed? I’m having the same issue.

I didn’t see the string
runneranywhere in the link tosetup_elixir; is that something coming from the Phoenix application’s config?You may need to configure the
postgrescontainer this sets up, to get the right user + database - check the Docker Hub page for a description of the available options. My parsing of the Actions docs is that you’ll want to add them under thedbkey in the above YAML.ramortegui
I used a GitHub-Actions file from another project, and it turned out that the new one didn’t have defined the username and password for the database connection on the
config/test.exs. But, it was working locally using the default credentials of the user running the test.The solution was to add username and password on
config/dev.exsas @al2o3cr suggested.
