Spring Boot Integration Tests with Redis Testcontainer

[wojciechcwek]

Hi,

I use Redis in Testcontainers in my tests. After adding rqueue spring boot to my project, all my integration tests (where the context of app goes up) are failing, because rqueueConfing connects to Redis on initializaiton (I'm not sure why but it adds metadata to Redis like db version, config etc.).

I get this exc:
Failed to instantiate [com.github.sonus21.rqueue.config.RqueueConfig]: Factory method 'rqueueConfig' threw exception with message: Unable to connect to Redis

What's more - integration tests that connect to Redis instance of Testcontainers used to past (before adding rqueue), now they fail, even though I start Testcontainer. This is because RqueueConfig bean initializes before Testcontainer Redis instance goes up.

Testcontainers start and stop every time they are needed (per test or per test class). They don't start at the begining of all tests and are shutdown at the end. They are not reused.

Is there a way to integrate rqueue with testcontainer and at the same time I wouldn't have to reorganize my all integration tests?

A quite similar topic was discussed here: #131 but I didn't find any answer in repo.

Thanks,
Wojtek

We can stop the rqueue auto startup by setting setAutoStartup to false in the SimpleRqueueListenerContainerFactory

rqueue/rqueue-core/src/main/java/com/github/sonus21/rqueue/config/SimpleRqueueListenerContainerFactory.java

Line 153 in f04317b

public void setAutoStartup(boolean autoStartup) {

.

If this also does not work, you can try to disable the rqueue completely in test environment using properties

rqueue.enabled=false
