A lein plugin that starts up an "embedded" postgres instance to be used when running tests / during development.
In effect it works as a wrapper around OpenTable's embedded postgres JUnit helper.
Add [lein-postgres "0.1.1"] to the plugins vector in your project.clj file.
A postgres instance can then be started with lein postgres
This will start a postgres instance and wait until you send it kill command with ctrl+c
You can also start a postgres instance and run other lein tasks by passing them as a second argument.
lein postgres test
This will start postgres, run your tests (which presumably depend on postgres) before closing postgres and cleaning up.
You can configure lein-postgres with a config map in your project.clj
(defproject "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
:plugins [[lein-postgres "0.1.1"]]
:postgres {:port 12345 ;optional, defaults to a random free port
:clean-data-directory true ;optional, defaults to true - should we cleanup the data directory on close
:data-directory "/tmp/embeddedpostgres" ;optional, sets the temporary data directory
:server-config {:max_connections "300"}} ;optional, allows you to set additional server config optionsSee here for more information on additional server-config options.
Thanks to OpenTable for the excellent embedded postgres plugin and Joe Littlejohn for lein-embongo which was used as a base for some of the code here.
