exasol-testcontainers

This project provides an abstraction to Exasol running on Docker for the purpose of integration testing based on Java Testcontainers.

You can create a dockerized instance of Exasol with a few Java commands from within the test framework (e.g. JUnit).

Scope

This software is intended for use in automated integration tests of Java software that uses Exasol. It sets up and runs a disposable Docker container and lets users access the interfaces of the Exasol instance inside that container with minimum effort.

Don't use testcontainers for production environments or with confidential data. To make testing as convenient as possible, the handling of the disposable containers is not up to the same security standards as a production system.

Features

• Download, start and stop an Exasol docker container automatically
• JUnit integration via annotations
• JDBC connection to the database inside the container
• BucketFS access
• EXAoperation emulation
• Optional container reuse
• Detection for access via docker exec and fallback to SSH
