Check if local MySQL is running

If you are like me and have you development DB not running at all times you might find it annoying to dump and download a huge file to find out it can't import. Put this snippet into your config.rb:

# Check local MySQL server is running before attempting to suck anything
def _suck_variation identifier, ctn, variation, var
  Open3.popen2e(%{#{ctn.local_client_call} -N -e 'SHOW DATABASES;'}, pgroup: true) do |_stdin, _stdouterr, _thread|
    _stdin.close
    exit_code = _thread.value
    result = _stdouterr.read.chomp.downcase
    if result["can't connect to local mysql server"]
      abort "Local MySQL server is not running!"
    end
  end if ctn
  super
end
