dep8 test failures

[Robie Basak]

ruby-mysql fails dep8 tests due to changes in MySQL 5.7.

http://paste.ubuntu.com/15652507/ fixes up the test infrastructure so that the test runner has a database. But the tests themselves need fixing (eg. 0 dates no longer allowed).

Current work in progress: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15656543/

This fails because "testuser" cannot log in as the MySQL root user. Is this a bug in MySQL packaging? If not, can we prepare a database in d/tests/test-suite such that testuser can log in?

This bug was fixed in the package ruby-mysql - 2.9.1-1ubuntu1

---------------
ruby-mysql (2.9.1-1ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * FTBFS fixes (LP: #1566917):
    - d/tests/{control,test-suite}: create normal mysql user and use it for the
      test to fix FTBFS, since 5.7 no longer permits empty root password login
      by normal users by default. Run test as root since we need to create the
      mysql user, then drop to normal user with normal-user.sh for the test run
      itself.
    - d/tests/test-suite: use non-strict mode as this is what the tests assume.
      Thanks to Lars Tangvald.
    - d/p/5.7-test-fixes: test changes required for working with 5.7, explained
      in dep3 headers. Thanks to Lars Tangvald.
