Testcontainers: FileNotFoundException: .testcontainers.properties

Question

I am getting issues with running integration tests (using JUnit5) of my micronaut app on my Windows 10 Pro machine. My tests depend on two containers, that I defined using Testcontainers java library: RabbitMQ and MS SQL server. The Docker version is v19.03.13.

Upon running integration test, I am getting the following exception:

[WARN ][DESKTOP-PBCHP60] [testcontainers.utility.TestcontainersConfiguration] – Attempted to read Testcontainers configuration file at file:/$HOME.testcontainers.properties but the file was not found. Exception message: FileNotFoundException: $HOME\.testcontainers.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)

Though, I am not getting this exception when running the test from macOS machine. My assumption is that it is Windows specific.

Can anyone tell me how to fix it? Should I create the required file myself? Or maybe there is a way how to skip the step of reading this file during running IT?

Could you describe how you run your tests? Are you running inside an IDE, or command line, and if so which shell? – Florence

@BurtBeckwith, thanks for your response. Both options fails. For command line it is powersell. – Melt

The message you posted is just a warning, not an error. It should not prevent testcontainers from launching the docker images. Are there any error messages? They should start with [ERROR]. – Belted
