Oh, I should've worded it better. It turns out it's pretty easy to set up Diesel to test your application code together with setting up a lock Postgres database. I had to put it up myself, but overall I just copied the approach Diesel uses for it's own integration test: have a test subproject and set up the database in it's custom compilation script. https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/tree/master/diesel_tests https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/tree/master/diesel_tests Now, every time I alter application code and/or SQL migrations, I immediately test them together automatically.
