tap-testcontainers

To manage Docker container lifecycles in Node-tap integration tests, use tap before and after hooks to start and stop containers, and enforce a Ryuk reaper to ensure reliable resource teardown.

Testcontainers shares environment configuration across multiple test processes by writing connection details and reaper info to a shared test-env.json file, which is then loaded by a localtest.ts environment loader.

Yes, you can use Node-tap with Testcontainers to run integration tests for Postgres and Redis. The pattern provides reusable container runners for these services alongside LocalStack and MySQL.

The best way to clean up Docker containers after Node-tap tests is to enforce a Ryuk reaper within your before and after hooks, which guarantees consistent test environments and reliable teardown.

Yes, you need a Ryuk reaper when running Testcontainers with Node-tap. The architecture enforces the Ryuk reaper to clean up resources, ensuring consistent test environments and preventing leftover containers.
