TestContainers elasticsearch testing module 0.1-SNAPSHOT

Heya

I'm pleased to announce that I just published a preview version of the "TestContainers elasticsearch testing module"

It's a Testcontainers module for elasticsearch.

Note that it's based on the official Docker image provided by elastic.

Basically it helps to start an elasticsearch instance from the JVM for integration tests purpose for example. It is not meant to be run in production.

See testcontainers.org for more information about Testcontainers.

I'd love to hear your feedbacks about this before I release a first version on Maven central!
You can either comment here, in a new thread on #elasticsearch or open an issue in:

Usage example

You can start an elasticsearch container instance from any Java application by using:

// Specify the version you need.
ElasticsearchContainer container = new ElasticsearchContainer()
        .withVersion("6.1.2");

// Optional: you can also set what is the Docker registry you want to use with.
container.withBaseUrl("docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch");

// Optional: define which plugin you would like to install.
// It will download it from internet when building the image
container.withPlugin("discovery-gce");

// Optional: define the plugins directory which should contain plugins ZIP files you want to install.
// Note that if you want to just download an official plugin, use withPlugin(String) instead.
container.withPluginDir(Paths.get("/path/to/zipped-plugins-dir"));

// Optional: you can also change the password for X-Pack (for versions >= 6.1).
container.withEnv("ELASTIC_PASSWORD", "changeme");

// Configure the container (mandatory).
container.configure();

// Start the container.
container.start();

// Do whatever you want here.
final CredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
credentialsProvider.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, new UsernamePasswordCredentials("elastic", "changeme"));
RestClient client = RestClient.builder(container.getHost())
        .setHttpClientConfigCallback(httpClientBuilder -> httpClientBuilder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider))
        .build();
Response response = client.performRequest("GET", "/");

// Stop the container.
container.stop();

JUnit 4 Usage example

Running elasticsearch as a resource during a test:

public class SomeTest {
    @Rule
    public ElasticsearchResource elasticsearch = new ElasticsearchResource();

    @Test
    public void someTestMethod() {
        final CredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
        credentialsProvider.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY,
                new UsernamePasswordCredentials("elastic", "changeme"));

        RestClient client = RestClient.builder(elasticsearch.getHost())
                .setHttpClientConfigCallback(httpClientBuilder -> httpClientBuilder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider))
                .build();
        Response response = client.performRequest("GET", "/");
        assertThat(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode(), is(200));

The default version is read from a property file named elasticsearch.properties in fr.pilato.elasticsearch.containers package.
If you provide an elasticsearch.properties in fr.pilato.elasticsearch.containers package,
the settings will be read from it:

baseUrl=docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch
version=6.1.2

You can also define this programmatically with:

@Rule
public ElasticsearchResource elasticsearch = new ElasticsearchResource(
    "docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch", // baseUrl (can be null)
    "6.1.2",                                         // version
    Paths.get("/path/to/zipped-plugins-dir"),        // pluginsDir (can be null)
    "changeme");                                     // X-Pack security password to set (can be null)
