Only reuse reaper containers created by testcontainers-node - #1453
cristianrgreco merged 4 commits into
Conversation
findReaperContainers matched any running Ryuk on the host, so on a CI host shared between testcontainers-node and another language binding (e.g. testcontainers-python), Node workers adopted the other binding's reaper every worker minted a fresh session id and asked the adopted reaper to watch a session it was never durably told about — leaking every container created under it. Narrow the adoption predicate: require org.testcontainers.lang === "node" (this library already labels everything it creates with it via createLabels()) and require a durable org.testcontainers.session-id label. A reaper whose session cannot be identified is left to the binding that owns it, and the node run starts its own reaper instead of silently losing reaping.

Make the foreign-reaper fixtures identifiable.
Both fixtures omit org.testcontainers.session-id. Each test can pass if the Node-language condition is removed because the missing session label rejects the container first. Add a non-empty session label to each foreign reaper.

Reject empty session identifiers.
typeof ... === "string" accepts "". A running Node Ryuk with an empty session label can pass this predicate and be reused with an empty sessionId. Require a non-empty session identifier and add an empty-label case.

Self-review correction on my own PR, following the repo's cross-language guidance (I cited a de-facto-reference sentence without evidence — that was sloppy): I verified the Java binding now: So the de-facto reference behavior is actually stricter than this PR's predicate: mature bindings don't adopt foreign reapers period, which further supports narrowing the node-side adoption predicate (here we keep the useful cross-process reuse of node-owned reapers, but refuse anything the binding can't own). I could not complete a verified check of the Python binding from this environment — leaving that part to reviewers rather than asserting it. |

Hi @kilisamemarisaaa, thanks for raising.
Indeed, but in testcontainers-go and other langs where test frameworks spawn separate processes per test suite (e.g. jest/vitest), we decided that testcontainers-node should reuse reaper containers should they exist. Otherwise for example if you have 20 cores and are running 20 tests, it doesn't make much sense to have 20 ryuk containers. I agree though it's not the intention that a testcontainers-node process picks up a ryuk container from a testcontainers-python process, and the solution to narrow down on language makes sense. A few changes before merging:

main now imports it in reaper.ts (#1453), so it's no longer only used in its own file.

Fixes #1442
Problem
findReaperContainersmatched any running Ryuk container on the host. On a host shared with another Testcontainers language (for exampletestcontainers-python), a Node process could reuse that language's reaper.Each Node process registers its own session id with the reaper it connects to, so its containers are still cleaned up for as long as that reaper stays alive. The risk is ownership: the other language decides when its reaper stops and how it is configured.
Fix
Only reuse a reaper that has
org.testcontainers.lang=nodeand a non-emptyorg.testcontainers.session-idlabel. Every reaper this library creates has both. Any other reaper is left alone and a new one is started.A reused reaper now always has a session id label, so
getReaperreads it directly instead of falling back to a random id.Reuse of reapers across Node processes is unchanged.
Verification
npm run formatnpm run lintnpx tsc -b packages/testcontainersnpx vitest run packages/testcontainers/src/reaper/reaper.test.tsNew case in
reaper.test.ts,should not reuse existing reaper container created by another language: takes the real reaper'sContainerInfo, setsorg.testcontainers.langtopython, mocksclient.container.list, and assertsgetReapercreates a new reaper.reaper.ts): 1 failed, thepythonreaper was reused.reaper.test.ts10 passed, 0 failed.Semver
Patch. No public API change. Reapers created by
testcontainers-nodeare still reused; only reapers from other languages, or without a session id, are no longer picked up.
