Hi all,

Some of my unittests (Laravel 5.3 application) fail because the migrations can’t be executed, the error is the following:

> SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory (SQL: select \* from information\_schema.tables where table\_schema = circle\_test and table\_name = migrations)

My setup is

> machine:  
> php:  
> version: 7.0.11  
> environment:  
> ENVIRONMENT: testing  
> DB\_URL: 127.0.0.1  
> DB\_NAME: circle\_test  
> DB\_USER: ubuntu  
> DB\_CONNECTION: mysql\_test

Not sure where it goes wrong, perhaps the user isn’t the correct one (ubuntu), I have not provided a custom .env file, all of the environment variables are quite probably correct, circle\_test as a database and ubuntu as the user.
