Testing: Testcontainers for Python #72
Description
About
- Similar to Testcontainers for Java: Add showcase examples for different scenarios #54, we would like to demonstrate CrateDB with testcontainers-python, a »Testcontainers« implementation for Python.
- I've started a corresponding implementation on behalf of the LorryStream project the other day, and already reused it at the CrateDB Retention project. It needs to be reviewed and submitted to the upstream repository as a contribution before further elaborating on it.

The "Testcontainers for Python" implementation for CrateDB is located here.
pytest-based initialization code to use the "Testcontainers for Python" implementation, and provide a pytest fixture to the test cases, can be found within the
conftest.pyfiles of the corresponding projects.Finally, those test cases demonstrate how to actually use that pytest fixture.

Hi again. Can we make some progress here?

since they changed a lot in pr testcontainers/testcontainers-python#892, I started a new PR and ported the code from testcontainers/testcontainers-python#888

Excellent, thank you! I've upvoted your PR. 👍

Hi @florinutz, looks like testcontainers cratedb module has released on new version. Could you take a look this issue again? https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-python/releases/tag/testcontainers-v4.15.0

Hi again. CrateDB is part of Testcontainers for Python now, thank you very much. However, I can't see it appearing in its documentation yet, see https://testcontainers-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/. I created an upstream ticket to track this topic.
