# dockertest-rs
Control docker containers from a rust ingegration test suite. Full fledge management support
with automatic cleanup.
This crate provides the following features for your docker testing needs:
* Ensure docker containers are invoked and running according to `WaitFor` strategy.
* Customize your own or use one of the batteries included.
* Interact with the `RunningContainer` in the test body through its `ip` address.
* Setup inter-container communication with `inject_container_name` into environment variables.
* Teardown each started container after test is terminated - both successfully and on test failure.
* Concurrent capabilies. All tests are isolated into separate networks per test, with uniquely
generated container names.
See the [crate documentation](https://docs.rs/dockertest) for extensive explainations.
## Example
The canonical example and motivation for this crate can be expressed with the following
use-case example - host a database used by your test in a container, which is fresh between each test.
```rust
use diesel::pg::PgConnection;
use diesel::prelude::*;
use dockertest::waitfor::{MessageSource, MessageWait};
use dockertest::{Composition, DockerTest, PullPolicy, Source};
use std::rc::Rc;
// Define our test
let source = Source::DockerHub(PullPolicy::IfNotPresent);
let mut test = DockerTest::new().with_default_source(source);
// Define our Composition - the Image we will start and end up as our RunningContainer
let mut postgres = Composition::with_repository("postgres").with_wait_for(Box::new(MessageWait {
message: "database system is ready to accept connections".to_string(),
source: MessageSource::Stderr,
timeout: 20,
}));
postgres.env("POSTGRES_PASSWORD", "password");
test.add_composition(postgres);
// Run the test body
let conn_string = format!("postgres://postgres:password@{}:{}", container.ip(), 5432);
let pgconn = PgConnection::establish(&conn_string);
// Perform your database operations here
assert!(
pgconn.is_ok(),
"failed to establish connection to postgres docker"
);
});
```
## Testing
Testing this library requires the following:
* docker daemon available on localhost.
* Capable of compiling `diesel` with the postgres feature.
Tests are designed to be run in parallel, and should not conflict with existing system images.
Local images are build with repository prefix `dockertest-rs/`.
