If you're using `ent.Client` in your unit-tests, you can use the generated `enttest`
package for creating a client and auto-running the schema migration as follows:

```go
package main

import (
	"testing"

	"<project>/ent/enttest"

	_ "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"
)

func TestXXX(t *testing.T) {
	client := enttest.Open(t, "sqlite3", "file:ent?mode=memory&cache=shared&_fk=1")
	defer client.Close()
	// ...
}
```

In order to pass functional options to `Open`, use `enttest.Option`:

```go
func TestXXX(t *testing.T) {
	opts := []enttest.Option{
		enttest.WithOptions(ent.Log(t.Log)),
		enttest.WithMigrateOptions(migrate.WithGlobalUniqueID(true)),
	}
	client := enttest.Open(t, "sqlite3", "file:ent?mode=memory&cache=shared&_fk=1", opts...)
	defer client.Close()
	// ...
}
```
