tank-postgres

Postgres driver implementation for Tank: the Rust data layer

Running Tests

Running the tests requires an instance of Postgre. You can provide the connection URL using the environment variable TANK_POSTGRES_TEST. If this variable is not set, a containerized Postgres instance will automatically be launched using testcontainers-modules.

1. Make sure docker is running:

systemctl status docker

2. Add your user to the Docker group (so you can run Docker without sudo):

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

You might need to log out and back in for this change to take effect.

[!CAUTION] When running tests using the Postgres instance from testcontainers, never stop or kill the test abruptly (e.g., while at a breakpoint), as the container may not be cleaned up properly. Repeatedly starting and killing tests can leave multiple Postgres containers running, quickly consuming system resources..

To inspect running containers:

docker ps

To stop a specific container:

docker kill <container_name>
