Excalibur.Testing.Containers

Opt-in TestContainers fixtures for testing Excalibur infrastructure implementations against real backends via Docker.

This package is deliberately separate from Excalibur.Testing.Conformance so that the core conformance toolkit never forces a Docker/TestContainers dependency. Reference this package only when you want to run conformance kits (or your own integration tests) against a real database.

Installation

dotnet add package Excalibur.Testing.Containers

What's included

Type	Purpose
`ContainerFixtureBase`	Base class with Docker lifecycle, timeout handling, transient-failure retry, and optional graceful degradation.
`IDatabaseContainerFixture`	Contract for database container fixtures (connection string, engine, `CreateDbConnection`).
`SqlServerContainerFixture`	Ready SQL Server fixture (`Testcontainers.MsSql`).
`PostgresContainerFixture`	Ready PostgreSQL fixture (`Testcontainers.PostgreSql`).

Container timeouts scale with the TEST_TIMEOUT_MULTIPLIER environment variable via ContainerTimeouts.

Quick start — run a conformance kit against a real database

public sealed class MySqlServerOutboxConformanceTests
    : OutboxStoreConformanceTestKit, IClassFixture<SqlServerContainerFixture>
{
    private readonly SqlServerContainerFixture _fixture;

    public MySqlServerOutboxConformanceTests(SqlServerContainerFixture fixture) => _fixture = fixture;

    protected override IOutboxStore CreateStore() =>
        new MySqlServerOutboxStore(_fixture.ConnectionString);

    [Fact] public Task Append() => AppendAsync_Persists();
}
