Testcontainers module for MariaDB
You can start a MySQL container instance from any Java application by using:
<!--codeinclude-->Container definition inside_block:container
<!--/codeinclude-->See Database containers for documentation and usage that is common to all relational database container types.
jdbc:tc:mariadb:10.3.39:///databasename
See JDBC for documentation.
root user passwordIf no custom password is specified, the container will use the default user password test for the root user as well.
When you specify a custom password for the database user,
this will also act as the password of the MariaDB root user automatically.
Add the following dependency to your pom.xml/build.gradle file:
=== "Gradle"
groovy testImplementation "org.testcontainers:testcontainers-mariadb:{{latest_version}}"
=== "Maven"
xml <dependency> <groupId>org.testcontainers</groupId> <artifactId>testcontainers-mariadb</artifactId> <version>{{latest_version}}</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>
!!! hint Adding this Testcontainers library JAR will not automatically add a database driver JAR to your project. You should ensure that your project also has a suitable database driver as a dependency.
