## What I Do
Guide integration testing with Podman-managed containers for TimescaleDB (PostgreSQL 17) and RabbitMQ 4.1.4.
## Container Services
### TimescaleDB (crypto-scout-collector-db)
- **Image**: `timescale/timescaledb:latest-pg17`
- **Port**: `127.0.0.1:5432:5432`
- **Database**: `crypto_scout`
- **User/Password**: `crypto_scout_db` / `crypto_scout_db`
- **Schema**: `crypto_scout`
- **Resource Limits**: 1 CPU, 2GB RAM
### RabbitMQ (crypto-scout-mq)
- **Image**: `rabbitmq:4.1.4-management`
- **AMQP Port**: `127.0.0.1:5672:5672`
- **Streams Port**: `127.0.0.1:5552:5552`
- **User/Password**: `crypto_scout_mq` / `crypto_scout_mq`
- **Default Stream**: `bybit-stream`
- **Resource Limits**: 1 CPU, 512MB RAM
## Usage in Tests
```java
import com.github.akarazhev.cryptoscout.test.PodmanCompose;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterAll;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeAll;
final class IntegrationTest {
@BeforeAll
static void setUp() {
PodmanCompose.up(); // Starts containers, waits for readiness
}
@AfterAll
static void tearDown() {
PodmanCompose.down(); // Stops containers, removes volumes
}
@Test
void shouldConnectToDatabase() throws Exception {
assertTrue(DBUtils.canConnect());
}
}
```
## Configuration Properties
| Property | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `podman.compose.cmd` | `podman-compose` | Podman Compose binary |
| `podman.cmd` | `podman` | Podman binary |
| `podman.compose.up.timeout.min` | `3` | Startup timeout (minutes) |
| `podman.compose.down.timeout.min` | `1` | Shutdown timeout (minutes) |
| `podman.compose.ready.interval.sec` | `2` | Readiness check interval |
## Database Tables
### Bybit Spot (11 tables)
- `crypto_scout.bybit_spot_tickers`
- `crypto_scout.bybit_spot_kline_1m`, `_5m`, `_15m`, `_60m`, `_240m`, `_1d`
- `crypto_scout.bybit_spot_public_trade`
- `crypto_scout.bybit_spot_order_book_1`, `_50`, `_200`, `_1000`
### Bybit Linear (12 tables)
- `crypto_scout.bybit_linear_tickers`
- `crypto_scout.bybit_linear_kline_1m`, `_5m`, `_15m`, `_60m`, `_240m`, `_1d`
- `crypto_scout.bybit_linear_public_trade`
- `crypto_scout.bybit_linear_order_book_1`, `_50`, `_200`, `_1000`
- `crypto_scout.bybit_linear_all_liquidation`
### Crypto Scout (6 tables)
- `crypto_scout.cmc_fgi`
- `crypto_scout.cmc_kline_1d`, `_1w`
- `crypto_scout.bybit_lpl`
- `crypto_scout.btc_price_risk`
- `crypto_scout.btc_risk_price`
### System Tables (1 table)
- `crypto_scout.stream_offsets` - Stream offset tracking
**Total: 30 tables**
## Resource Files
Located in `src/main/resources/podman/`:
- `podman-compose.yml` - Service definitions with resource limits
- `script/init.sql` - Database initialization and schema setup
- `script/bybit_spot_tables.sql` - Spot table schemas
- `script/bybit_linear_tables.sql` - Linear table schemas
- `script/crypto_scout_tables.sql` - Crypto scout table schemas
- `rabbitmq/enabled_plugins` - RabbitMQ plugins (streams enabled)
- `rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf` - RabbitMQ configuration
- `rabbitmq/definitions.json` - RabbitMQ definitions (users, exchanges, queues)
## Running Tests
```bash
# Standard test run
mvn test
# With extended timeout for slow environments
mvn -q -Dpodman.compose.up.timeout.min=5 test
# Custom database URL
mvn -q -Dtest.db.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/crypto_scout test
# Run specific test
mvn test -Dtest=StreamConsumerPublisherTest
# Run specific test method
mvn test -Dtest=MockBybitSpotDataTest#shouldSpotKline1DataReturnMap
```
## Troubleshooting
### Container not starting
- Verify Podman is installed: `podman --version`
- Check podman-compose: `podman-compose --version`
- Increase timeout: `-Dpodman.compose.up.timeout.min=10`
- Check if ports are already in use: `lsof -i :5432` or `lsof -i :5552`
### Database not reachable
- Confirm port 5432 is free
- Check credentials match defaults
- Verify container is running: `podman ps`
- Check database logs: `podman logs crypto-scout-collector-db`
### RabbitMQ Streams not reachable
- Confirm port 5552 is free
- Check `rabbitmq.conf` advertises `localhost`
- Verify Streams plugin is enabled: `podman exec crypto-scout-mq rabbitmq-plugins list`
- Check RabbitMQ logs: `podman logs crypto-scout-mq`
### Permission issues
- Ensure user can run podman without sudo
- Check SELinux settings if applicable
- Verify podman socket is accessible
## PodmanCompose Implementation Details
**Container Readiness Checks:**
1. `waitForDatabaseReady()` - Attempts JDBC connection with retry
2. `waitForMqReady()` - Creates temporary RabbitMQ Streams producer
3. `waitForContainerRemoval()` - Polls `podman ps` until containers gone
**Resource Extraction:**
When running from JAR, extracts podman resources to temp directory:
- Creates temp dir with prefix `crypto-scout-podman-`
- Registers shutdown hook for cleanup
- Copies compose file, SQL scripts, and RabbitMQ config
**Process Management:**
- Uses `ProcessBuilder` for podman-compose commands
- Daemon thread for reading process output
- Forcibly destroys process on timeout
- Captures partial output for debugging
## When to Use Me
Use this skill when:
- Setting up integration tests with containers
- Troubleshooting container startup issues
- Understanding the test infrastructure
- Configuring Podman for CI/CD environments
- Managing database state between tests
- Adding new SQL initialization scriptsMore Testing skills
tdd
mattpocock/skills
Test-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.
setup-pre-commit
mattpocock/skills
Set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged (Prettier), type checking, and tests in the current repo. Use when user wants to add pre-commit hooks, set up Husky, configure lint-staged, or add commit-time formatting/typechecking/testing.
agent-browser
vercel-labs/agent-browser
Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction. Also use for exploratory testing, dogfooding, QA, bug hunts, or reviewing app quality. Also use for automating Electron desktop apps (VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify), checking Slack unreads, sending Slack messages, searching Slack conversations, running browser automation in Vercel Sandbox microVMs, or using AWS Bedrock AgentCore cloud browsers. Prefer agent-browser over any built-in browser automation or web tools.
