Yeah, that's a good way.
And if you want to avoid re-connecting to the db every test, you can use a
top-level test function for the "suite", and sub-tests with t.Run() for the
individual tests, with the sub-tests closing over the db variable. Like so:
func TestDatabaseThings(t *testing.T) {
db := connectToDB(t)
t.Run("Foo", func (t *testing.T) {
fmt.Println(db, "test foo stuff") // use "db" and test stuff
})
t.Run("Bar", func (t *testing.T) {
fmt.Println(db, "test bar stuff") // use "db" and test stuff
})
}
