Can't connect Node.js with Docker MySQL database in GitHub actions-CodePudding

For a project I'm trying to use Node.js unit tests in GitHub actions. But I'm having problems connecting the Node.js with my database running in docker (via GitHub).

This is my workflow:

name: Node.js CI
on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ master ]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
     # Service containers to run with `runner-job`
    services:
      # Label used to access the service container
      biddify-product-database:
        # Docker Hub image
        image: robfontys/biddify-product-database:latest
        #
        ports:
          # Opens tcp port 6379 on the host and service container
          - 3306:3306
    timeout-minutes: 1      
    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [12.x, 14.x]
        # See supported Node.js release schedule at https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-node@v2
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
        cache: 'npm'
    - run: npm ci
    - run: npm run build --if-present
    - run: npm test

When I run the workflow this is the error:

So my question is how to connect Node.js to the MySQL database? Is the IP address of the contrainer 127.0.0.1 (localhost)?

You need to wait for the Docker container to be fully started up, so you need to add a sleep for a sufficient amount of time. I found that 2 minutes is more than enough for small projects. Try to run the following:

    name: Node.js CI
    on:
      push:
        branches: [ master ]
      pull_request:
        branches: [ master ]
    jobs:
      build:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
         uses: actions/setup-node@v2
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
        cache: 'npm'
    - run: npm install
    - run: npm run build --if-present
    - run: docker-compose up -d biddify-product-database
    - name: Sleep for 120 seconds
      uses: jakejarvis/wait-action@master
      with:
        time: '120s'
    - run: npm test
