How to test the custom database connection? - fre2mansur - 08-20-2022
Hello guys,
I am allowing remote DB connection to my app as a custom connection,
I want to test and control the error handling on my view template. if the connection fails or not.
try {
$forge = \Config\Database::forge($custom);
$forge->createDatabase('my_db_3');
} catch(\Exception $e) {
echo "Conenction Error";
}
But it throws CI debug error page
CodeIgniter\Database\Exceptions\DatabaseException #8
Unable to connect to the database.
Main connection [MySQLi]: Access denied for user '****'@localhost (using password: YES)
How handle the test case?
