Getting started with Testcontainers for Java — Write the test
Create CustomerServiceTest.java under src/test/java Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```java package com.testcontainers.demo; import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals; import java.util.List; import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterAll; import org.junit

Create CustomerServiceTest.java under src/test/java
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```java
package com.testcontainers.demo;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
import java.util.List;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterAll;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeAll;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.testcontainers.postgresql.PostgreSQLContainer;
class CustomerServiceTest {
static PostgreSQLContainer postgres = new PostgreSQLContainer(
"postgres:16-alpine"
);
CustomerService customerService;
@BeforeAll
static void beforeAll() {
postgres.start();
}
@AfterAll
static void afterAll() {
postgres.stop();
}
@BeforeEach
void setUp() {
DBConnectionProvider connectionProvider = new DBConnectionProvider(
postgres.getJdbcUrl(),
postgres.getUsername(),
postgres.getPassword()
);
customerService = new CustomerService(connectionProvider);
}
@Test
```
Here's what the test does
Declares a PostgreSQLContainer with the postgres:16-alpine Docker image. The @BeforeAll callback starts the Postgres container before any test methods run. The @BeforeEach callback creates a DBConnectionProvider using the JDBC connection parameters from the container, then creates a CustomerService. The CustomerService constructor creates the customers table if it doesn't exist. shouldGetCustomers() inserts 2 customer records, fetches all customers, and asserts the count. The @AfterAll callback stops the container after all test methods finish.
