I don’t get it, how would a database container run your unit tests? And unless you know some secret option to stop the database after, say, it is idle for a few seconds, it will continue running.
The purpose is to test database dependent code by spinning up a real database and run your code against that.
Ah! That’s what I didn’t understand. So its not a container for executing unit tests. Its a container for dependencies to support unit tests. That is not clear from the readme unless I missed something
edit - the title could be “Self terminating containers for real world dependencies to support your unit tests”
This feels more like an integration test than a unit test to me. Maybe that’s not an important distinction to make, but it feels like it would also help communicate intent.
