============
 tox-docker
============

A `tox <https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ plugin which runs one or
more `Docker <https://www.docker.com/>`__ containers during the test run.

Usage and Installation
----------------------

tox loads all plugins automatically. It is recommended that you install the
tox-docker plugin into the same Python environment as you install tox into,
whether that's a virtualenv, etc.

You do not need to do anything special when running tox to invoke
tox-docker. You do need to configure your project to request docker
instances (see "Configuration" below).

Configuration
-------------

In the ``testenv`` section, list the Docker images you want to include in
the ``docker`` multi-line-list. Be sure to include the version tag.

You can include environment variables to be passed to the docker container
via the ``dockerenv`` multi-line list. These will also be made available to
your test suite as it runs, as ordinary environment variables::

    [testenv]
    docker =
        postgres:9-alpine
    dockerenv =
        POSTGRES_USER=username
        POSTGRES_DB=dbname

Host and Port Mapping
---------------------

By default, tox-docker runs the container with the "publish all ports" option.
You may also specify port publishing in ``tox.ini``, in a new section like::

    [docker:redis:5.0-alpine]
    ports = 5432:5432/tcp

The image name -- everything after the ``docker:`` in the section header --
must *exactly* match the image name used in your testenv's ``docker`` setting.
Published ports are separated by a newline and are in the format
``<HOST>:<CONTAINER>/<PROTOCOL>``.

Any port the container exposes will be made available to your test suite via
environment variables of the form
``<image-basename>_<exposed-port>_<protocol>_PORT``.  For instance, for the
PostgreSQL container, there will be an environment variable
``POSTGRES_5432_TCP_PORT`` whose value is the ephemeral port number that docker
has bound the container's port 5432 to.

Likewise, exposed UDP ports will have environment variables like
``TELEGRAF_8092_UDP_PORT`` Since it's not possible to check whether UDP port
is open it's just mapping to environment variable without any checks that
service up and running.

The host name for each service is also exposed via environment as
``<image-basename>_HOST``, which is ``POSTGRES_HOST`` and ``TELEGRAF_HOST`` for
the two examples above.

*Deprecation Note:* In older versions of tox-docker, the port was exposed as
``<image-basename>-<exposed-port>-<protocol>``. This additional environment
variable is deprecated, but will be supported until tox-docker 2.0.

Health Checking
---------------

As of version 1.4, tox-docker uses Docker's health checking to determine
when a container is fully running, before it begins your test. For Docker
images that contain a ``HEALTHCHECK`` command, tox-docker uses that.

You may also specify a custom health check in ``tox.ini``, in a new section
like::

    [docker:redis:5.0-alpine]
    healthcheck_cmd = redis-cli ping | grep -q PONG
    healthcheck_interval = 1
    healthcheck_timeout = 1
    healthcheck_retries = 30
    healthcheck_start_period = 0.5

The image name -- everything after the ``docker:`` in the section header --
must *exactly* match the image name used in your testenv's ``docker`` setting.

tox-docker will print a message for each container that it is waiting on a
health check from, whether via the container's built-in ``HEALTHCHECK`` or a
custom health check.
