Huh - interesting... this seems to fail differently, and even earlier already, than #638 did.

@MazenAmria @jejanim would you be interested in further analyzing what's going on here?

@vorburger sure

This is trying to use the path /usr as a base directory which doesn't exist in Windows.
The test is trying to run D:\usr\scripts\mysql_install_db.exe, note that other tests was running something like:C:\Users\RUNNER~1\AppData\Local\Temp\MariaDB4j\base\bin\mysql_install_db.exe.

btw, the test that was failing due to --tmpdir has passed, I'm not sure if that's enough to verify my PR.

Oh! Right; well spotted. So that test covers the https://github.com/vorburger/MariaDB4j#how-using-existing-native-mariadb-binaries scenario. @jejanim do you think it would be possible to, like for the Linux tests, install MariaDB4j on Windows in the Github Workflow? (Somehow; I don't know how.)

Then we could have this test pass, and cover that use case on Windows (which would be nice...) by putting an if (config.isWindows()) (by refactoring to pull the config.build() out/up) and setting the base dir and executable to wherever it typically is installed on Windows.

https://github.com/ankane/setup-mariadb from @ankane looks pretty interesting for this!

Sorry for the long silence on this. I've fixed a number of others things in this project today, and am hoping to find time another weekend to upgrade the project overall from Java 11 to Java 17 and then be able to pick this PR up....

PS: If you use MariaDB4j professionally, please consider either taking a Tidelift subscription or GitHub Sponsor to support future maintenance!

Hah! NOW All checks have passed - after I have done (hacked) #713.

I'll do some git rebase and then (finally, sorry) merge this now!
