Override DATABASE_URL by setting default parameter's value

[voronkovich]

This approach is more flexible than we used in #572

@voronkovich that was the solution I was looking for and I wasn't able to find it! Much better than suing the PHPUnit config file.

Looking at it, it's so obvious now 😄

Thanks!

Indeed much nicer 👍

Just wondering... now to use a testing database we must define this in an environment variable set in a phpunit.xml.dist which is suggested to be committed with the project. But these credentials are unique to each machine, And I certainly don't want to commit my credentials.

I know it's an old commit but being concerned with this issue I want to point that using a good .env file for credentials seems to be a better fit than using a commited phpunit file.

@rewieer the point of the phpunit.xml.dist is to not commit your specific changes.

You can have your own phpunit.xml that overrides changes. Eg; you can remove the entry from your customer xml file and user the environment variable provided by your machine.
