0.4.0 (27 March 2024)

Breaking changes:

• add the parameter container_runtime to :py:func:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerBaseABC.prepare_container` and :py:func:`~pytest_container.build.MultiStageBuild.prepare_build`.
• deprecate the function pytest_container.container_from_pytest_param, please use :py:func:`~pytest_container.container.container_and_marks_from_pytest_param` instead.
• :py:func:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerBaseABC.get_base` no longer returns the recursive base but the immediate base.

Improvements and new features:

• No longer depend on :command:`buildah` being installed when using :command:`podman` to build container images.
• Allow to configure whether container images are always pulled before test runs or whether cached images can be used via the environment variable PULL_ALWAYS (see :ref:`controlling-image-pulling-behavior`).
• Add attributes :py:attr:`~pytest_container.inspect.ContainerInspect.name` and :py:attr:`~pytest_container.inspect.ContainerNetworkSettings.ip_address` exposing the container's name & IP
• Add property :py:attr:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerBase.extra_entrypoint_args` to support appending arguments to the container launch command
• Add support for Python 3.12
• Add property :py:attr:`~pytest_container.inspect.PortForwarding.bind_ip` to support binding to arbitrary IP addresses.
• Fix :py:attr:`~pytest_container.inspect.PortForwarding.host_port` being ignored when picking the host port

Documentation:

Internal changes:

0.3.0 (26 September 2023)

Breaking changes:

• Removed the function OciRuntimeABC.get_image_id_from_stdout as docker buildx does not print the image digest to stdout when invoking :command:`docker build`.

Improvements and new features:

• Add :py:attr:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerBaseABC.baseurl` property to get the registry url of the container on which any currently existing container is based on.

Documentation:

Internal changes:

• use --cidfile and --iidfile flags to get the container and image hashes from files instead of stdout.

0.2.0 - DevConf.cz edition (14 June 2023)

Breaking changes:

Improvements and new features:

• Log the the output of :command:`$runtime logs $container` using Python's logging framework for easier debugging
• Automatically set the image format to docker when using :command:`buildah` if the base image is using HEALTHCHECK (with :command:`buildah` version 1.25 and later).
• Add support for Python 3.11
• Log the container's logs even if launching the container fails, e.g. due to a failing HEALTHCHECK.

Documentation:

Internal changes:

0.1.1 (21 March 2023)

This release only fixes the README.rst formatting. There are no functional changes compared to 0.1.0.

0.1.0 (20 March 2023)

Breaking changes:

• ContainerBase.healtcheck_timeout_ms got renamed to :py:attr:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerBase.healthcheck_timeout` and was changed as follows: it is now a :py:class:`~datetime.timedelta` with the default value being None and implies that pytest_container figures the maximum timeout out itself. If a positive timedelta is provided, then that timeout is used instead of the inferred default and if it is negative, then no timeout is applied.
• :py:attr:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerBase.entry_point` is no longer a property. It is instead a setting how the entry point for a container image is picked. Consequently, the attribute ContainerBase.default_entry_point was removed.
• OciRuntimeABC.get_container_healthcheck was removed, use :py:attr:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerData.inspect` instead.

Improvements and new features:

• The Entrypoint is now picked automatically from the image, removing the need for setting default_entry_point=True.
• Cleanup automatically created volumes from VOLUME directives in :file:`Dockerfile`.
• Allow to inspect containers via a pythonic interface via :py:attr:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerData.inspect`
• Add support for creating podman pods for testing via the :py:class:`~pytest_container.pod.Pod` class.
• Add support for automatically exposing ports in containers via the :py:attr:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerBase.forwarded_ports` attribute: Container Images can now define which ports they want to publish automatically and let the container_* fixtures automatically find the next free port for them. This allows the user to launch multiple containers from Container Images exposing the same ports in parallel without marking them as singleton=True.
• The attribute :py:attr:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerData.container` was added to :py:class:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerData` (the datastructure that is passed to test functions via the *container* fixtures). This attribute contains the :py:class:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerBase` that was used to parametrize this test run.
• Add support to add tags to container images via :py:attr:`~pytest_container.container.DerivedContainer.add_build_tags`.
• Lock container preparation so that only a single process is pulling & building a container image.
• Add the helper class :py:class:`~pytest_container.runtime.Version` for parsing and comparing versions.
• Container volumes and bind mounts can now be automatically created via the :py:class:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerVolume` and :py:class:`~pytest_container.container.BindMount` classes and adding them to the :py:attr:`~pytest_container.container.ContainerBase.volume_mounts` attribute.

Documentation:

• Add a tutorial how to start using pytest_container
• Document most public and private functions, classes and modules

Internal changes:

• Switch from tox to nox and nox-poetry.
• Add typeguard to the test runs to check type hints.
• Use context managers in the fixtures to make the code more readable and robust.
