ContainerRequest - narayana-lra server

[GregJohnStewart]

Hello! I hope this request is in the right place.

It would be great to have a TestContainer that spins up a narayana-lra server for testing LRA functionalities.

It appears that we would need to either create a barebones quarkus app to containerize to be the server, or use a standalone binary. Otherwise looks fairly straightforward:

Hey @GregJohnStewart, thanks for letting us know.

I'd assume this should be straightforward if there would be a Docker image for a narayana-lra server, then it might also work with our GenericContainer and there is no necessity for a dedicated container module.

What about this image?
https://hub.docker.com/r/jbosstm/lra-coordinator

This whole topic is outside of my expertise, so there is not much concrete I can advise on.

That container looks good to me, unfortunately I am also quite new to LRA, so I can't speak much to it either (I'm looking for the test container so I can play with it!)

Outwardly it looks like a fairly simple service though

Given the sparse docs, you can try with the following GenericContainer (not tested):

new GenericContainer<>("jbosstm/lra-coordinator")
  .withExposedPort(8080)
  .waitingFor(Wait.forLogMessage(".*started in.*\\s", 1))

Thanks! Seems to work well!

Cool, I will convert this into a GH Discussions Q&A (for hopefully better discoverability).
