I'm implementing http://phactory.org/ to get away from the heavier aspects of test data creation. One of the prerequisite items for this is to start with an empty database, with proper schema.
I need to do this in drush so I can incorporate this into Jenkins or another CI process.
The options as I see them are:
1) write my own drush command which copies a local db using sql-sync, but truncates the tables. This seems brittle
2) create a test database and use drupal_install_schema().
My current process is to take a schema-only copy of the db (as described here) and then create a new test database from it. In between tests, I just truncate the data.
What options am I missing to copy the schema from the drupal db to another test db to handle test data?
What is the better of the options?
