Spock

Spock extension for Testcontainers library, which allows to use Docker containers inside of Spock tests.

Usage

@Testcontainers class-annotation

Specifying the @Testcontainers annotation will instruct Spock to start and stop all testcontainers accordingly. This annotation can be mixed with Spock's @Shared annotation to indicate, that containers shouldn't be restarted between tests.

@Testcontainers
class PostgresContainerIT extends Specification {

    @Shared
    PostgreSQLContainer postgreSQLContainer = new PostgreSQLContainer(SpockTestImages.POSTGRES_TEST_IMAGE)
    .withDatabaseName("foo")
    .withUsername("foo")
    .withPassword("secret")

    def "waits until postgres accepts jdbc connections"() {

        given: "a jdbc connection"
        HikariConfig hikariConfig = new HikariConfig()
        hikariConfig.setJdbcUrl(postgreSQLContainer.jdbcUrl)
        hikariConfig.setUsername("foo")
        hikariConfig.setPassword("secret")
        HikariDataSource ds = new HikariDataSource(hikariConfig)

        when: "querying the database"
        Statement statement = ds.getConnection().createStatement()
        statement.execute("SELECT 1")
        ResultSet resultSet = statement.getResultSet()
        resultSet.next()

        then: "result is returned"
        int resultSetInt = resultSet.getInt(1)
        resultSetInt == 1

        cleanup:
        ds.close()
    }

}

Adding Testcontainers Spock support to your project dependencies

Add the following dependency to your pom.xml/build.gradle file:

testImplementation "org.testcontainers:spock:1.20.4"

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.testcontainers</groupId>
    <artifactId>spock</artifactId>
    <version>1.20.4</version>
