Testcontainers is a Python library that providing a friendly API to run Docker container. It is designed to create runtime environment to use during your automatic tests.
In searching around for a resolution to this issue I realized that testcontainers in PyPi was published just last week with v4.4.0, while testcontainers-mongodb (and other packages like testcontainers-postgres) have not been published to PyPi since January 2023, and are only v0.0.1rc1.
I looked up this GitHub repository, saw the mongodbextra, and then removed the testcontainers-mongodb I had installed previously, and installed testcontainers[mongodb] instead.
This resolved my issue in that I am now able to set the username, password, and dbname kwargs that I wanted to. But I wanted to log an issue here to raise a request for some clarity around the best way to install testcontainers for Python.
I'm happy to contribute some draft documentation but may need some direction on where/how that should be done.
Describe the bug
I'm new to testcontainers and have been working on getting it set up to run MongoDB tests in Python.
I found https://testcontainers.com/guides/getting-started-with-testcontainers-for-python/ which instructs to install
testcontainers-postgres
, so I searched PyPi fortestcontainers-mongo
, found https://pypi.org/project/testcontainers-mongodb/, installed it (specifically withpoetry add --group dev testcontainers-mongod
, which installed v0.0.1rc1), and started using it to write tests.I then ran into errors when trying to set the
username
,password
, anddbname
kwargs, which the documentation says I should be able to set:In searching around for a resolution to this issue I realized that
