Hi!
You can use the command tool to increase the max_allowed_package to… 64MB with this:
tests: &tests
docker:
- image: my-main-image:latest
- image: mariadb:10.3
environment:
MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD: 1
command: [--max-allowed-packet=67108864]
That’s for mariadb, and I guess it’s similar for mysql. Here is a command to be able to see all available commands:
docker run -it --rm mariadb:10.3 --verbose --help
Here are all options you can configure for a docker executor: https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/configuration-reference/#docker
