clj-test-containers

What it is

This library is a lightweight wrapper around the Testcontainers Java library.

What it isn't

This library does not provide tools to include testcontainers in your testing lifecycle. As there are many different test tools with different approaches to testing in the clojure world, handling the lifecycle is up to you.

Integration with test runners

There is an experimental kaocha plugin you can try out

Usage

The library provides a set of functions to interact with the testcontainers. A simple example, how to create a container with a Docker label, could look like this:

(require '[clj-test-containers.core :as tc])

(def container (-> (tc/create {:image-name    "postgres:12.1"
                               :exposed-ports [5432]
                               :env-vars      {"POSTGRES_PASSWORD" "verysecret"}})
                   (tc/bind-filesystem! {:host-path      "/tmp"
                                         :container-path "/opt"
                                         :mode           :read-only})
                   (tc/start!)))

(do-database-testing (:host container)
                     (get (:mapped-ports container) 5432))

(tc/stop! container)

If you'd rather create a container from a Dockerfile in your project, it could look like this:

(require '[clj-test-containers.core :as tc])

(def container (-> (tc/create-from-docker-file {:env-vars      {"FOO" "bar"}
                                                :exposed-ports [80]
                                                :docker-file   "resources/Dockerfile"})
                   (tc/start!)))

If you prefer to use prebuilt containers from the Testcontainers project, you can do it like this

(require '[clj-test-containers.core :as tc])
(:import [org.testcontainers.containers PostgreSQLContainer])

(def container (-> (tc/init {:container     (PostgreSQLContainer. "postgres:12.2")
                             :exposed-ports [5432]})
                   (tc/start!)))

perform-cleanup!

Stops and removes all containers which were created in the JVM, including the REPL session you are in.

None

(perform-cleanup!)
