Testcontainers Node.js module for WireMock

[oleg-nenashev]

Proposal

Similar to Java, it would be nice to add support for starting the WireMock server using Testcontainers when Docker is present and no other WireMock server has been provided

Preview

• https://github.com/wiremock/wiremock-testcontainers-node

Scope

• Initial prototype
• Setup CI in the repository
• Add documentation to the repository
• Setup releases to NPM - Depends on NPM organization for WireMock community#48
• Add a demo that uses the experimental release

If there are any existing implementations, prototypes, blogs or etc, let us know!

There is WireMock Captain implementation for JavaScript and TypeScript based on WireMock Docker, but not a Testcontainers one. See the WireMock Ecosystem listing for the references

Reference any relevant documentation, other materials or issues/pull requests that can be used for inspiration.

• Java module: https://github.com/wiremock/wiremock-testcontainers-java

I would like to work on this

@kurayami07734 It would be great, thanks for your interest! I suggest starting in your personal repository which we could transfer to the WireMock org once the prototype is ready

[kurayami07734]

That's fine but, it would not count as a pull request right?

[oleg-nenashev]

@kurayami07734 Fair point. I will create a repository

[oleg-nenashev]

@kurayami07734 Created https://github.com/wiremock/wiremock-testcontainers-node for you

[kurayami07734]

I think we can close this issue now

[oleg-nenashev]

@kurayami07734 definitely not closed until released in preview/GA and made available to users. But yes many patches can come in subsequent pull requests

@kurayami07734 I added the acceptance criteria here for better clarity what we'd need to have in the end. It can be done incrementally
