Hi,

my suggestion for this week's agenda: run-tests.sh with newer databases

The problem with 1071 Specified key was too long is one of the show stoppers for GitHub Actions. And that issue probably won't get much attention on its own.

There are some things that need to get fixed, until we can switch to GH Actions. Let's do it step-by-step. :-)

I'd like to add this https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/1678. The bug can be recreated manually but I haven't been able to recreate it in a test. There's a fix for Drupal 7 which also fixes an issue for Backdrop core and for Webform. And the tests pass.

How important is it that we confirm that a test fails *before* adding the patch?

Some of the confusion around this issue seems to stem from Backdrop adding functionality to automatically upload files whereas Drupal 7 required clicking the upload button. But the bug is still there under the surface.
