This is the command that Gitlab CI runs, the environment variable below is what mailman uses for "extra" testing config.

The extra mysql.cfg is what holds the database configuration.

Thanks Abhilash. What I didn't realize is since I already have a mysql server running on my dev box for other purposes, I had to use that server and create a 'mailman' database within it and then use appropriate credentials to access it.

I can now actually run tests using mysql. My results in this case are different from the original issue at <https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/385> because my server is not running in "strict" mode., but I can now work on the original issue since I can actually test any fixes.
