📚 Using the same database for testing as in the real project is important to avoid bugs in the database interaction layer.
⚙️ Testcontainers library allows us to automate tests using a real database, such as Postgres, by starting a Docker container.
🐳 Migrating the application to use Postgres instead of H2 is necessary before using Testcontainers library.
💡 To integrate Testcontainers into a project, dependencies for the postgres JDBC driver and Testcontainers must be added.
🔧 The schema definition and application properties file need to be updated to use the postgres database.
🐳 Testcontainers is a Java library that allows for the creation of lightweight instances of common databases and other resources using Docker containers for testing purposes.
📚 Integration testing with Testcontainers allows for easy management of containers and verification of their state.
🧪 To start a container in a JUnit test, a field annotated with a specific container annotation is needed.
🔀 Kotlin and Java have different approaches to design, with Java supporting self typing using recursive generics, while Kotlin requires a specific workaround.
📝 Using the fluent API methods and the apply function, we can create an instance of a Postgres SQL container and configure its behavior.
⚙️ To avoid starting the container for each test, it can be started once per test class by declaring a specific field as static in Kotlin.
🐳 To verify if the container is up and running, we can write tests that check its status.
📝 Testcontainers logs debug messages and automatically discovers the Docker environment.
🔧 To make existing tests work, the database URL cannot be hard-coded and a dynamic property source annotation is used in Spring.
🌟 The test engine requires the dynamic property source function to be declared in a companion object and be static.
📝 The function allows us to override specific parameters in the application.properties file for testing.
🔍 Testcontainers detects the docker environment and starts the postgres instance once, reusing the same database for all tests in the class.
🧹 A cleanup function can be implemented to remove the data produced during test execution.
💡 The video explains how to use Testcontainers, a Java library, for integration testing in Spring Boot applications.
🔍 Testcontainers can be used to start various resources in a Docker container, not just databases.
