Docker Test Environment

Docker-based test environment for the Airflow plugin. The supported tox envs are py311-airflow30, py311-airflow31, and py311-airflow32 (Airflow 2.x is no longer supported); the default is py311-airflow31.

Files

• Dockerfile.test — Docker image that runs tests via tox
• docker-compose.test.yml — Docker Compose config with automatic volume mounts
• run-tests.sh — Wrapper script for the easiest test experience
• DOCKER_TEST_GUIDE.md — Full documentation with examples

Quick Start

Wrapper script

# Run all tests
./run-tests.sh

# Run a specific test
./run-tests.sh py311-airflow31 -- tests/integration/test_plugin.py::test_airflow_plugin -v

# Update golden files (saved back to your local filesystem)
./run-tests.sh py311-airflow31 -- --update-golden-files

Docker Compose

docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml run --rm airflow-plugin-test

Features

Automatic volume mounts

Both the wrapper script and Docker Compose mount:

• Source (metadata-ingestion and airflow-plugin)
• Golden files (tests/integration/goldens)
• Tox cache (.tox, Docker Compose only)

Golden files get updated on your local filesystem; source changes are visible to the container immediately.

Tox-based dependency management

The image defaults to tox -e py311-airflow31, but you can pass any supported env (py311-airflow30 / py311-airflow31 / py311-airflow32) as the first argument. Each env installs the matching apache-airflow~=3.x line and the providers/constraint file pinned in tox.ini.
