🗃 Db connection woes

Lines 7 to 13 in 867df4d

 if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "test") { 
     DB_URL = process.env.TEST_DB_URL; 
 } 
  
 if (!DB_URL) { 
     throw new Error ('Environment variable DB_URL must be set'); 
 }; 

When you are running tests, you do not need to worry if there is a DB_URL. This could be added to a else statement on the previous conditional eg

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "test") {
    //set the DB_URL
} else if (!DB_URL) {
   // throw an error if we dont have a url
};

This will avoid you from having to create two dbs in travs 🙌🏽
