testcontainers/testcontainers-java 1.18.0 on GitHub

Core module

Modules images such as MySQLContainer are now automatically compatible with their corresponding images with the library prefix

MySQLContainer<?> mysql = new MySQLContainer<>("library/mysql");

testcontainers/vnc has been bumped to version 1.3.0, which brings ARM support.
Goodbye to the whale in the logs. In order to provide an easy way to filter container logs the tc prefix has been added to display all container logs or tc.<image-name:tag> for a specific one. Check the logging docs.
There is a new WaitStrategy, ShellStrategy. It can also be used by calling Wait.forSuccessfulCommand(<command>)

New integration

Jib has been integrated to Testcontainers in order to take advantage of the nice API it provides to create containers

GenericContainer<?> busybox = new GenericContainer<>(
                new JibImage(
                    "busybox:1.35",
                    jibContainerBuilder -> {
                        return jibContainerBuilder.setEntrypoint("echo", "Hello World");
                    }
                )
            )
                .withStartupCheckStrategy(new OneShotStartupCheckStrategy().withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(3)))

New modules 🆕

CrateDB module

In order to use CrateDBContainer , declare the dependency in your pom.xml/build.gradle

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.testcontainers</groupId>
    <artifactId>cratedb</artifactId>
    <version>1.18.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

testImplementation "org.testcontainers:cratedb:1.18.0"

Choose a crate image version and use it as declared below with your postgres driver

CrateDBContainer cratedb = new CrateDBContainer("crate:5.2.5");

Solace Module

In order to use SolaceContainer , declare the dependency in your pom.xml/build.gradle

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.testcontainers</groupId>
    <artifactId>solace</artifactId>
    <version>1.18.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

testImplementation "org.testcontainers:solace:1.18.0"

Now, you can use a Solace PubSub running in a container and connecting via AMQP by doing the following:

SolaceContainer solace = new SolaceContainer("solace/solace-pubsub-standard:10.2");
solace.start();
Session session = createSession(
                solaceContainer.getUsername(),
                solaceContainer.getPassword(),
                solaceContainer.getOrigin(Service.AMQP)
            );

More information about SolaceContainer can be found in the documentation.

Container modules

CockroachDB

Starting with cockroachdb/cockroach:22.1.0, there is support for setting the username, password and database name via environment variables. Now, the Testcontainers module provides convenient setters:

CockroachContainer cockroach = new CockroachContainer("cockroachdb/cockroach:22.1.0")
    .withUsername("test_user")
    .withPassword("test_password")
    .withDatabaseName("test_database");

GCloud module

Google has released a new image which supports ARM and therefore BigtableEmulatorContainer, DatastoreEmulatorContainer, FirestoreEmulatorContainer, PubSubEmulatorContainer now support it as well.

So, if previously you were doing something like

DockerImageName.parse("gcr.io/google.com/cloudsdktool/google-cloud-cli:380.0.0-emulators")
    .asCompatibleSubstituteFor("gcr.io/google.com/cloudsdktool/cloud-sdk");

Now, you can simply do

DockerImageName.parse("gcr.io/google.com/cloudsdktool/google-cloud-cli:380.0.0-emulators");

JUnit Jupiter Module

@Testcontainers offers a new attribute parallel, which start those containers classes annotated by @Container

@Testcontainers(parallel = true)
class ParallelTest {

	@Container
private static final PostgreSQLContainer<?> postgres = new PostgreSQLContainer<>("postgres:15-alpine")
    .withCopyFileToContainer(MountableFile.forClasspathResource("db.sql"), "/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/")
    .withNetwork(network)
    .withNetworkAliases("postgres");

@Container
private static final ToxiproxyContainer toxiproxy = new ToxiproxyContainer("ghcr.io/shopify/toxiproxy:2.5.0")
    .withNetwork(network);

}

Kafka Module

Self-managed or Kraft mode (a.k.a Zookeeperless) support has been added

KafkaContainer kafka = new KafkaContainer(DockerImageName.parse("confluentinc/cp-kafka:7.0.1")).withKraft()

LocalStack Module

SERVICES environment variable became optional in version 0.13.0 and instead LocalStack will initialize a service once the first request is served. So, nowadays LocalStackContainer can be used just like this:

LocalStackContainer localstack = new LocalStackContainer("localstack/localstack:2.0.0");

Also, LocalStack module supports version 2.0. It is highly recommended to use the latest version of LocalStack images.
Last but not least, dependency on AWS SDK V1 was dropped. So, that means by upgrading to version 1.18.0, the dependency can be removed if not used directly.

MongoDB Module

MongoDBContainer by default has been enabling ReplicaSet mode. Starting in this version, sharding has been added.

MongoDBContainer mongodb = new MongoDBContainer("mongo:6")
    .withSharding();

Selenium Module

Selenium 4 has built-in support for Microsoft Edge (which is based on Chromium) and now it is supported by BrowserWebDriverContainer as well:

BrowserWebDriverContainer<?> edge = new BrowserWebDriverContainer<>("selenium/standalone-edge:4.8.0")
    .withCapabilities(new EdgeOptions());
