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

To avoid having separate config files you can update the docker-compose configuration to introduce the dependencies between services with the depends_on option, available from version 2 format and up. As result start of the test-runner will initiate the run of the clients.

Please note that if you need to wait some time when the actual web server will be started from inside services you are testing, you can use wait-for-it.sh script to wait until the server became available.

# Test runner
test-runner:
  image: "${RUNNER_IMG}"
  privileged: true
  links:
    - client
    - server
  volumes:
  - /Users/me/frontend_test/client-devops:/protractor/project
  - /dev/shm:/dev/shm
  depends_on:
    - client
  entrypoint:
    - wait-for-it.sh
    - client
    - -t
    - '180'
    - --
    - /entrypoint.sh
    - --baseUrl=http://client:9000/dist/
    - /protractor/conf-dev.js
    - --suite=remember
# Client deployment
client:
  image: "${CLIENT_IMG}"
  depends_on:
    - server
  links:
    - server
# Server deployment
server:
  image: "${SERVER_IMG}"

After updating config, simple docker-compose up test-runner will trigger start of the related services.
