# mysql_session
|
|
|
|
Use the `mysql_session` InSpec audit resource to test SQL commands run against a MySQL database.
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
A `mysql_session` resource block declares the username and password to use for the session, and then the command to be run:
|
|
|
|
describe mysql_session('username', 'password').query('QUERY') do
|
|
its('stdout') { should match(/expected-result/) }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
* `mysql_session` declares a username and password, connecting locally, with permission to run the query
|
|
* `query('QUERY')` contains the query to be run
|
|
* `its('stdout') { should eq(/expected-result/) }` compares the results of the query against the expected result in the test
|
|
|

## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Test for matching databases
|
|
|
|
sql = mysql_session('my_user','password')
|
|
|
|
describe sql.query('show databases like \'test\';') do
|
|
its('stdout') { should_not match(/test/) }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Alternate Connection: Different Host
|
|
|
|
sql = mysql_session('my_user','password','db.example.com')
|
|
|
|
### Alternate Connection: Different Port
|
|
|
|
sql = mysql_session('my_user','password','localhost',3307)
|
|
|
|
### Alternate Connection: Using a socket
|
|
|
|
sql = mysql_session('my_user','password', nil, nil, '/var/lib/mysql-default/mysqld.sock')
|
|
|
|
### Test for a successful query
|
|
|
|
describe mysql_session('my_user','password').query('show tables in existing_database;') do
|
|
its('exit_status') { should eq(0) }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test for a failing query
|
|
|
|
describe mysql_session('my_user','password').query('show tables in non_existent_database;') do
|
|
its('exit_status') { should_not eq(0) }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test for specific error message
|
|
|
|
describe mysql_session('my_user','password').query('show tables in non_existent_database;') do
|
|
its('stderr') { should match(/Unknown database/) }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Matchers
|
|
|
|
This InSpec audit resource builds a [command](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/resources/command) object and returns the the result object. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
