Are you using the correct DB_CONNECTION in phpunit.xml?

Database does not exist when trying to use MySQL for PHPUnit tests
I have a MySQL database on my local machine that I use for development. Up to now, I've been using sqlite in-memory databases for my testing, but I want to test my suite against a MySQL database. I've set up a new connection that uses the same details as my local development MySQL, but with a different database name. If I try to run a test, I get the following error:
Illuminate\Database\QueryException : SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'app_testing' (SQL: SHOW FULL TABLES WHERE table_type = 'BASE TABLE')
Ok, no problem - I'll make the database:
create database app_testing
But when I run the tests this time, I get the following error:
Illuminate\Database\QueryException : Database (app_testing) does not exist.
What's going on here? The app can see the database, so why can't PHPUnit? It must be able to some degree to change the error. Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes, I am.

Are you also using the RefreshDatabase trait in your test class? Are you caching the config? Try running php artisan config:clear and restart your local server.

Can you show us your config/database.php, phpunit.xml and an example test?

Thanks for the reply. I have an entry in my database.php's connections like this:
'testing' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'testing'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => true,
'engine' => null,
'options' => [PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_LOCAL_INFILE => true],
'max_allowed_packet' => '500M'],
My phpunit.xml looks like this:
<phpunit backupGlobals="false"
backupStaticAttributes="false"
bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php"
colors="true"
convertErrorsToExceptions="true"
convertNoticesToExceptions="true"
convertWarningsToExceptions="true"

I'm using mysql as the driver for the app and it works fine.
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'app'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => true,
'engine' => null,
'options' => [PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_LOCAL_INFILE => true],
'max_allowed_packet' => '500M'],

Try removing the DB_DATABASE line from phpunit.xml and only specify the name of your connection (DB_CONNECTION) there. Then in config/database.php, set the database to 'testing' directly for your connection, i.e.
'testing' => [
// driver, host, etc...
'database' => 'testing',
// ...
];
Is it still giving you any error messages?

Something strange is definitely happening. This is my phpunit.xml:

But when I try to run a test, I'm now getting:
Illuminate\Database\QueryException : Database (/Users/user/webdev/app/database/database.sqlite) does not exist.
I have no idea why it's trying to use SQLite.

Solved. During seeding, I was manually specifying the database type. Thanks for your help.
To clarify, removing the DB_DATABASE line from phpunit.xml solved the problem.
