Testcontainers Port Updater
You are using Testcontainers and want to have your Testcontainers database accessible directly within IntelliJ? You are tired of changing the port configuration all the time since Testcontainers chooses a random port on each startup? This plugin solves your issue.
It automatically updates the IntelliJ data source port number with the exposed random port number that Testcontainers chose on startup.

Usage
For having a working plugin there are 2 requirements;
1- The plugin expects that Testcontainers writes a log that starts with Database:. If you don't see any logs on your console, please check your Testcontainers configurations and your log level.
Example log;
2021-06-23 14:07:26.408 INFO [your-service,,] 11111 --- [ main] o.f.c.i.database.base.DatabaseType : Database: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:12345/test (PostgreSQL 10.13)
2- You need to add a new data source into your IntelliJ. For more details, please visit this page from IntelliJ.
After covering these 2 requirements, the plugin automatically will catch the log and update the matched data source URL with the Testcontainers' one.
Plugin based on the IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template.
