title: Laravel 5 Testing Database MySQL
body: <p>In Laravel 4, I could specify the testing database through the <code>config/testing/database file</code>.</p>
  
  <p>This file has, of course, been removed from Laravel 5 just to make things pointlessly more difficult.</p>
  
  <p>So, how do I set up a MySQL test database in Laravel 5. </p>
  
  <p>I do not want to use a SQLite database.</p>
  
  <p>I would suggest some code but there isn't anything on SO or through Google that even attempts to answer this question.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
