Integration testing with TestСontainers-Go Nikolay Kuznetsov GopherCon Europe 18 Jun
2020 @nikolayk812
2 unit tests passed, 0 integration tests
Basic integration test
Getting a database for testing • Local database • In-memory
mock • Docker!
Docker advantages • 100% compatible databases • Same version as
production • Empty DB state
Integration testing with Docker
Easy-peasy! docker run -d -p 5432:5432 postgres:12.1
• Host port conflicts • Not ready сontainer / service
• Resource leak (the container keeps running) • Stale data (if reusing the same container) What could go wrong?
Solving some issues
None
Docker API docs.docker.com/engine/api/latest
Exec example
None
TestContainers-Go github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-go • Docker Go client under the hood •
Host port randomization • Containers clean up at the test shutdown • Readiness waiting strategies
As simple as pgContainer, err := tc.GenericContainer(ctx, tc.GenericContainerRequest{ ContainerRequest: tc.ContainerRequest{
Image: "postgres:12.1", ExposedPorts: []string{"5432/tcp"}, }, })
Host port randomization • API to get a host port:
• Prevents port conflicts • Enables parallel builds port, err := pgContainer.MappedPort(ctx, "5432/tcp")
Containers cleanup: Ryuk github.com/testcontainers/moby-ryuk • Ryuk kills containers (networks, volumes)
by labels • TC assigns labels to started containers • TC keeps a connection to Ryuk open • Ryuk acts when the connection is terminated
Waiting strategies • Host port • HTTP • SQL •
Logs • Custom • Multi
Host port waiting strategy • Impl checks both from outside
and inside container • Default (customizable) timeout is 60 seconds tc.ContainerRequest{ Image: "postgres:12.1", ExposedPorts: []string{"5432/tcp"}, WaitingFor: wait.ForListeningPort("5432/tcp"), },
HTTP waiting strategy WaitingFor: wait.ForHTTP("/health"). WithPort("8080/tcp"). WithStatusCodeMatcher( func(status int) bool
{ return status == http.StatusOK }),
Takeaways • testcontainers.org • Balance between flexibility, speed and features
• Great for integration tests • Possible to use for end-to-end tests
