A great way to include all the required resources for integration tests, Testcontainers provides an easy way to start docker containers from within your testcode. This removes the necessity to create test docker-compose.yml files and write README.md code on how to even run a test.

Here is a short example using testcontainers with Spring and Spock on a Postgis / Postgres database.

@SpringBootTest
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
@AutoConfigureTestDatabase(replace = AutoConfigureTestDatabase.Replace.NONE)
@ContextConfiguration(initializers = [Initializer.class])
class FieldControllerTest extends IntegrationTest {

  @Shared
  public static JdbcDatabaseContainer postgreSQLContainer = new PostgisContainerProvider()
    .newInstance()
    .withDatabaseName("integration-tests-db")
    .withUsername("sa")
    .withPassword("sa");


  static class Initializer implements ApplicationContextInitializer<ConfigurableApplicationContext> {

    void initialize(ConfigurableApplicationContext configurableApplicationContext) {
      postgreSQLContainer.start()
      TestPropertyValues.of(
        "spring.datasource.url=" + postgreSQLContainer.getJdbcUrl(),
        "spring.datasource.username=" + postgreSQLContainer.getUsername(),
        "spring.datasource.password=" + postgreSQLContainer.getPassword()
      ).applyTo(configurableApplicationContext.getEnvironment());
    }
  }

  @Autowired
  MockMvc mockMvc

  @Autowired
  FieldRepository fieldRepository

  void setup() {
    fieldRepository.save(new Field(
      UUID.fromString('ad68f894-c16b-4953-b577-7cddb3e85ae5'), "initSampleField",
      new Polygon(
        PositionSequenceBuilders.variableSized(G2D.class)
          .add(5.8208837124389, 51.0596004663904)
          .add(5.83490292265498, 51.0571257015788)
          .add(5.87078646658134, 51.0451607414904)
          .add(5.79146302423308, 51.0612386272784)
          .add(5.8208837124389, 51.0596004663904)
          .toPositionSequence(),
        CoordinateReferenceSystems.WGS84
      )
    ))
  }

  ...
}
