docker-testing

Running tests inside Docker containers ensures environment consistency across development and CI/CD. This Skill automates executing backend pytest and frontend npm test suites within docker-compose services, handling port checks, health validations, and service lifecycle management so you get reliable, reproducible test results.

Debugging multi-service Docker setups requires inspecting logs, validating service health, and checking port availability. This Skill provides built-in troubleshooting commands to diagnose port conflicts, database connectivity, and API errors, letting you rapidly identify and fix failures without manual container inspection.

Yes. This Skill automates the complete workflow: building images, starting services, running backend and frontend test suites, inspecting logs, and tearing down containers. It manages docker-compose lifecycle and port validation so tests run in isolation without manual service management.

Docker containers isolate your FastAPI backend and Vue/Tailwind frontend with locked dependencies and configuration. This Skill runs tests inside these containers in both local development and CI scenarios, eliminating environment drift and ensuring tests pass consistently regardless of where they run.

You need Docker installed, docker-compose configured with project-specific compose files defining your FastAPI and Vue services, and a working project structure. This Skill requires these prerequisites and provides the automation layer to orchestrate testing workflows on top of your existing setup.

Port conflicts, service startup timing, missing environment variables, or database health issues commonly cause this. This Skill includes health checks, port availability validation, and service orchestration to catch these issues early, ensuring tests behave identically in both environments.
