Running Actix integration tests with Github Actions (Rust) [2020]

My take on writing unit and integration tests with Actix web and Rust + CI with Github actions!

Content:
0:07 Overview of the video
0:33 A word on unit tests
3:14 Create unit tests for errors module
5:12 Run unit tests with Github actions
6:38 A word on integration tests
7:56 Create integration tests
- 8:38 A bit of refactoring
- 9:25 Continue with integration tests
- 11:27 A more complex test. Avoid multiple connection pools?
- 12:49 Continue with integration tests
14:59 Run unit tests with Github actions
15:30 Use diesel CLI to run database migrations
17:24 Install diesel CLI and add Postgres Service to Github action
19:12 Bonus: Improve build time of the Github action
23:59 Bonus 2: Run integration tests only on demand (using feature flag)

Let me know if I made a mistake or if there is a better way of doing this. Thanks for watching!

In this video we are going to revisit the code from the Actix TODO Service series:
