Enforce MySQL Version

This gem will allow you to prevent your rails app from starting unless the version of MySQL it's running against is a specific major/minor version.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "enforce_mysql_version", require: "5.6"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Adding the gem to your Gemfile as shown in the installation instructions is all you need to do. MySQL versions that can be required are 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7. If you don't provide a required version in your Gemfile, this gem will have no effect.

The gem is tested against Ruby versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 as well as Rails versions 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2.

After checking out the repo, run bundle to install ruby dependecies. Run docker-compose up to install and start versions 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 of MySQL. Then, run bundle exec rspec to run the tests.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
