How do you use this library?

[javahippie]

The title is pretty self-explanatory, how do you use this library?

• What images do you run on it?
• how is it integrated in your test suite?
• Which test tools do you use?
• Are you using it in a REPL to explore functionality?

Thanks for the library!

• I primarily use the postgres image on alpine "postgres:12-alpine", but I have also used the debian flavor as well.
• I use test fixtures primarily for app-internal integration testing. Most of my functions are system unaware, so the bulk of the tests I write don't interface with the test container. However, I typically have one to two files of tests that run through my app entry points (usually via ring-mock). After they execute. I make assertions about data persisted in the db running within a test container.
• Most of my projects are based on leiningen, and I prefer to use its test runner. The times I'm called to use tools.deps, I typically use Cognitect's test lib. In both cases, I write my tests within a use-fixtures block
• Not usually. I generally try to limit my direct interactions with the systems I represent with test containers. I prefer that code to be as simple as possible since I generally don't have the need for more complex system-level features.
