Problem to connect Postgres in GitHub CI :econnrefused

Hello, I want to create an action for my elixir project, but I can not connect to PSQL database

Error: 9.650 [error] GenServer #PID<0.755.0> terminating

As you see I have this error connection refused - :econnrefused

This is my CI yml

And this is my test config file:

And you can see the last failed action in this repository, thank you, and please help me to fix it

I changed my port and it works, but I got this error instead of pervious error in my tests, I don’t have this error in my docker

Error: 7.031 [error] GenServer #PID<0.2681.0> terminating

    (stdlib 3.17) proc_lib.erl:226: :proc_lib.init_p_do_apply/3

I add it socket_dir: "/var/run/postgres", to my Ecto config, but I have this error, I think it is nor current path

Error: 6.167 [error] GenServer #PID<0.755.0> terminating
** (DBConnection.ConnectionError) tcp connect (/var/run/postgres/.s.PGSQL.5432): no such file or directory - :enoent

I changed my yml and made it like GitHub document, but I have this error

You’d only use the socket option if you were running the code on the same machine as the database, which isn’t the case here.

The example on that linked Github doc that uses ports like the ci.yml in your repo does is the “running jobs directly on the worker machine” which sets POSTGRES_HOST to localhost and relies on Docker’s port forwarding to connect the containers.

Hello Dear @al2o3cr,
I tried everything I thought might it work.

For example

This is how I introduced Elixir

jobs:
  test:
    name: Run tests
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      MIX_ENV: test
    strategy:
      matrix:
        otp: ['24.x']
        elixir: ['1.13.2']
        postgres: ['14.1-alpine']

and for my elixir source, I want to connect it to a Postgres database, so I added a 14.1-alpine

services:
      postgres:
        image: postgres
        env:
          POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
          
        options: >-
          --health-cmd pg_isready
          --health-interval 10s
          --health-timeout 5s
          --health-retries 5

Then I did like GitHub sample without port after preparing database as a service

Then I have this error:

Error: 1.218 [error] GenServer #PID<0.280.0> terminating
** (DBConnection.ConnectionError) tcp connect (postgres:5432): non-existing domain - :nxdomain
    (db_connection 2.4.1) lib/db_connection/connection.ex:100: DBConnection.Connection.connect/2
    (connection 1.1.0) lib/connection.ex:622: Connection.enter_connect/5
    (stdlib 3.17) proc_lib.erl:226: :proc_lib.init_p_do_apply/3
Last message: nil
State: Postgrex.Protocol

but if I do like the other part, I mean the link you sheared: Creating PostgreSQL service containers - GitHub Docs

I edited like this and added port :

    services:
      postgres:
        image: postgres
        env:
          POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
          
        options: >-
          --health-cmd pg_isready
          --health-interval 10s
          --health-timeout 5s
          --health-retries 5
        ports:
          # Maps tcp port 5432 on service container to the host
          - 5432:5432

and added these lines:

POSTGRES_HOST: localhost
# The default PostgreSQL port
POSTGRES_PORT: 5432

With these changes, I could pass the migration part, but in the test section I got error from database

Error: 2.017 [error] GenServer #PID<0.246.0> terminating

Hello, I fixed all the pervious errors, In testing I have a problem that it shows me undefined_table, but this table exists and I have no problem in my local and server with these packages.
Hence, I tried to drop and migrate again, but it always shows me

09:36:35.700 [info]  Migrations already up
09:36:35.779 [info]  Migrations already up

I have written these line before, and I have dropped the dB before migration

Please help me to fix this
Thank you


Update

I fixed it with some changes in my config and deleting MIX_ENV=test

Hello Friends,
I have postgress error in my new project’s GitHub ci again.

Do you have any idea why it is dropped?
