merb_datamapper's Issues

problem with :drop / :create / :reset etc using mysql

when 'mysql'
  user, password, database = config[:username], config[:password], config[:database]
  `mysql -u #{user} #{password ? "-p #{password}" : ''} -e "drop database #{database}"`
else

MySQL's commandl ine tool doesn't work that way, you can't specify the password following the -p argument. Further more, it seems the user specified in database.yml isn't ending up in that user var! When I try to run any of these rake tasks I get this:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user '-p'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

The command line is getting well-munched here..

'host' from database.yml is ignored on create/drop/reset tasks

The 'host' option specified in database.yml is being ignored on the create/drop/reset tasks.

The fix is pretty simple, ie: for 'drop' change to this:

  host, user, password, database = config[:host], config[:user], config[:password], config[:database]
  `mysql #{host ? "-h #{host}" : ''} -u #{user} #{password ? "-p#{password}" : ''} -e "drop database #{database}"`

Also note I've specified the CORRECT handling of a mysql password on commandline (no space after -p) and altered config[:username] to reflect the ACTUAL config entry config[:user] both of which I notice still haven't been fixed here despite having an open ticket about it for some months and the fix being dead simple to implement...
