Is this suitable for CI/CD pipelines?

Absolutely. The skill includes configuration examples for GitHub Actions, ensuring your integration tests run reliably in containerized CI environments.

Will this slow down my test suite?

The first run downloads Docker images, which can take time. However, this skill includes 'reusable container' patterns to significantly speed up subsequent local development runs.

Does this work with any database?

While the provided examples focus on PostgreSQL and Redis, Testcontainers supports a wide range of services including MySQL, MongoDB, Kafka, and Elasticsearch.

What are the requirements for using this skill?

You must have Docker installed and running on your machine, as Testcontainers relies on the Docker engine to spin up ephemeral service containers.

Can I use this with Prisma?

Yes, this skill includes specific implementation patterns for programmatically running Prisma migrations against ephemeral test containers during the setup phase.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Simplifies Docker-based integration testing by orchestrating ephemeral databases and services directly from code.

Acerca de

This skill provides standardized patterns for implementing Testcontainers in Node.js environments, enabling developers to run integration tests against real databases rather than mocks. It includes ready-to-use configurations for PostgreSQL, Redis, and Prisma, along with setup scripts for Vitest and GitHub Actions. By ensuring test isolation through ephemeral Docker containers, it helps catch database-specific issues early and maintains a clean state across test suites in both local development and CI/CD pipelines.

Características Principales

Automated Docker container orchestration for PostgreSQL and Redis
Global and per-test container lifecycle management for Vitest
Integrated Prisma migration support within test setup workflows
0 GitHub stars
Optimized local development patterns using reusable containers
Multi-container support for testing complex service dependencies

Casos de Uso

Ensuring consistent integration test environments across local dev and CI/CD
Validating multi-service interactions involving both SQL databases and Redis caches
Testing database-specific logic and migrations against a real PostgreSQL instance
