Working with Spring Boot and Testcontainers I need a way to dynamically tell the app what is the port in which the testcontainer is listening.
I know that during tests I can tell Spring to use a different properties file:
@TestPropertySource(locations = "classpath:application-integrationtests.yml")
But since the port will be random, I need to programmatically inject the value to the Spring or to the properties file.
I'm not talking about @Value
parameter as it will inject to the bean a value from the properties file, because when the app is in test phase, there is no way to know what this value will be.
Following @Dirk Deyne great link to an example from testcontainers demo I'm adding here a copy (with small modifications) of Testcontainer's solution to the above question:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = DemoApplication.class,webEnvironment =
WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
@ContextConfiguration(initializers = MyIntegrationTest.Initializer.class)
public class MyIntegrationTest {
public static class Initializer implements ApplicationContextInitializer<ConfigurableApplicationContext> {
@Override
public void initialize(ConfigurableApplicationContext configurableApplicationContext) {
TestPropertyValues values = TestPropertyValues.of(
"some.value.1=" + someObject.getSomeValue(),
"some.value.2=" + someObject.getOtherValue()
);
values.applyTo(configurableApplicationContext);
}
}
}
There's probably a better way, but I've just been using System properties for this.
@SpringBootTest
@DirtiesContext
public class MyTest {
@BeforeClass
public static void setUpEnvironment() {
System.setProperty("kafka.bootstrap.servers", testKafka.getServers();
}
...
}
Hard to write a correct answer as you don't show the code where you use the Testcontainers. But from the documentation:
The class rule provides methods for discovering how your tests can interact with the containers:
getContainerIpAddress()
returns the IP address where the container is listening
getMappedPort(...)
returns the Docker mapped port for a port that has been exposed on the container
For example, with the Redis example above, the following will allow your tests to access the Redis service:
String redisUrl = redis.getContainerIpAddress() + ":" + redis.getMappedPort(6379);
So you should be able to easily access this information.
