Testing Django using Docker

[Andreas Madsack]

Hello,

I did a first version of a Dockerfile for testing using Docker with a Postgresql Docker container.

see https://github.com/mfa/django-runtests-docker

The readme contains a walkthrough for a fresh digitialocean box (you need 1GB RAM! 512MB and a swap file also works).

On a linux host you can run the testsuite with "sh run.sh".

Should this way of running the tests be integrated in the docs?

And should the Dockerfile and the runscript be in the django tests folder?

Regards,

Andreas

Hi,

I think you should document this in Wiki at least.

Few additional questions notes:

What's the Docker overhead? (starup/shutdown time)

Could waiting for db container be more robust? Now it's just "random number".

Using docker-compose would be nice to avoid problems with container startup times.

There's one good basic example of docker-compose in pydanny's cookiecutter django package, if you need it.

There would be huge benefit if we could somewhat easily test against different database and python versions. Right now, if you are faced with "doesn't work on MySQL 5.7" bug, it is a bit complicated to verify such issues if you don't happen to have the version installed.
