Startup strategies

Normally, test containers wait until the container has reached the running state before continuing with the test. In some scenarios, you may wish for a container to run to completion before proceeding with the test suite. This is what startup strategies are for.

Running Strategy (default)

The :running strategy waits for the container to enter a running state. Example:

{:startup {:strategy :running}}

One-shot Strategy

The :one-shot strategy waits for the container to run to completion with exit status 0.

{:startup {:strategy :one-shot}}
