Allow to execute arbitrary commands in containers
d9pouces opened this issue · comments
Could you add a command parameter in the container configuration?
This command could just be passed to the docker.containers.run call.
What's your use case here? I suspect this is better handled by a Dockerfile rather than by adding complexity to tox-docker...
In fact, the goal is to avoid the overall complexity added by multiple Dockerfiles in the project structure and the need of building images (requiring a command outside tox) before running them with tox, just for one command.
But maybe you're right and I could process differently.
I'm also not sure how the lifetime of the command would interact the start of the test run. The command to run could be long-lived (or infinite), which would cause obvious problems.
If you really want to avoid custom images, you could probably do something with https://github.com/docker/docker-py directly from within your test suite, or hack something with a custom health check command; but these all feel really brittle and unobvious, IMO.
