clj-test-containers

What it is

This application is supposed to be 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.

Usage

The library provides a set of functions to interact with the testcontainers. A simple exampe 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/configure-volume! {:file-system-bind {:host-path "/tmp"
                                                             :container-path "/opt"
                                                             :mode :read-only}})))

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

(tc/stop! container)

Functions and Properties
