Terminate docker compose when test container finishes

Question

I am currently running a docker-compose stack for basic integration tests with a protractor test runner, a nodejs server serving a web page and a wildfly server serving a java b

Answer 1

I have tried the solution offered in this discussion but problem still in the case

Case-1: docker-compose up -d

You can use docker-compose up -d, test it by a test-runner then terminate by docker-compose down but the problem when you use docker-compose up -d is that you won't see the logs of the standard output anymore.

Case-2: docker-compose up --exit-code-from a service

You can view the docker logs if you use --exit-code-from that implies --abort-on-container-exit but the service won't send exit command when it is succeeded. Then you need to catch your container is finish tested before sending docker-compose down to stop them.

One of the solution to see the logs before terminating them is using --tail=1000 -f

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs --tail=1000 -f test-runner
docker-compose down
exit $rc

There is also a solution using nohup but you need to wait until process is completely finished then open the output logs file, so the above should be easier
