Driver Development

Run go get -t ./... in order to install project's dependencies.

Run tests against FaunaDB Cloud by passing your root database key to the test suite, as follows: FAUNA_ROOT_KEY="your-cloud-secret" go test ./....

If you have access to another running FaunaDB database, use the FAUNA_ENDPOINT environment variable to specify its URI.

Alternatively, tests can be run via a Docker container with FAUNA_ROOT_KEY="your-cloud-secret" make docker-test (an alternate Debian-based Go image can be provided via RUNTIME_IMAGE).

Tip: Setting the FAUNA_QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS environment variable will set a timeout in milliseconds for all queries.
