Running tests

Before running the tests, make sure you know the ip of the Docker bridge network interface. This is usually 172.17.42.1, however some distros and Docker for macOS might use a different ip. To find out the ip of the Docker bridge interface, type the following:

docker inspect --format='{{range .IPAM.Config}}{{println .Gateway}}{{end}}' bridge

If the result is not an IP address, just type the following:

docker inspect bridge | grep Gateway

Let’s assume you have configured your project to run all tests during the test phase (although you might want to use the verify phase for integration tests, which is where you might mostly use Dockerunit). If you are on Linux and the ip was 172.17.42.1 you can run the tests as follows:

mvn test

If you are on Linux but you have a different ip (for example 172.17.0.1), run the following:

mvn test -Ddocker.bridge.ip=172.17.0.1

If you are on Mac, run the following:

mvn test -Ddocker.host=localhost -Ddocker.bridge.ip=172.17.0.1

Windows users

Unfortunately we haven’t been able to test Dockerunit on Windows yet, however, Docker support should work fairly similarly to the way it does on macOS. Please get in touch through our chat, so that we can help you getting up and running.
