Hello!
First of all, thanks for the effort Harald! It is true, we've been
experimenting with running old testsuite against containers, but I think
we've used containerisation of the WildFly server only, mostly to simplify
automatisation of the server preparation. Having the containers being taken
care of automatically by a solid Java API and placing it in the testsuite
is a great idea. In addition to that, having containerised Selenium+Browser
is also a great step forward. I wonder if that would stabilise the browser
issues we're currently having with the current testsuite.
That was my main motivation for the new approach. And it turns out that
most of the issues are gone. Though sometimes the test suite still fails
due to browser issues.
IIRC Testcontainers should have the Podman/Docker daemon path configurable,
which should work out the images download/preparation issues
mentioned
earlier, and we could implement this into a prepare CI job.
Yes that’s possible. See
https://www.testcontainers.org/features/configuration/#customizing-docker...
When trying to run Manatoko on our CI, I've hit Docker pull limit being
exceeded. This is linked to the Browser container (
https://github.com/hpehl/manatoko/blob/main/container/src/main/java/org/j...)
extending official Testcontainers BrowserContainer (
https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/blob/master/modules...),
which uses Docker Hub for pulling images. Could this be changed to use
Selenium Standalone Images hosted on Quay? I've noticed there is already
Red Hat Quay repository for Selenium standalone images, see
https://quay.io/repository/redhatqe/selenium-standalone.
I think moving away from Docker Hub and using the Selenium drivers hosed at
quay.io should be possible. Though I don’t know if the screen recording is
still possible then.
Last question would be, whether Manatoko could be changed to have necessary
containers parameterised? Or what is your idea on how the images will
be
prepared and by whom?
Don’t know what exactly you mean by that. Can you elaborate on that?
Thanks
Harald
