This repository will be removed, see https://github.com/boundlessgeo/qgis-testing-environment-docker for the new one.
This is a simple container for testing QGIS Desktop and for executing unit tests inside a real QGIS instance.
The image contains QGIS 2.14 official build installed from debian GIS repositories and a python script to run unit tests inside QGIS.
You can use this docker to test QGIS or to run unit tests inside QGIS, xvfb is available and running as a service inside the container to allow for fully automated headless testing in Travis CI jobs.
You can build the image with:
# Place your IP address here, if you want to use apt-catcher note that APT
# catcher is not enabled by default, in order to enable it, you should
# uncomment two lines in the docker file (see comments in Dockerfile).
$ export ADDR=192.168.1.1
$ docker build -t qgis-desktop --build-arg APT_CATCHER_IP=$ADDR .
To run a container, assuming that you want to use your current display to use
QGIS and the image is named qgis-desktop:
# Allow connections from any host
$ xhost +
$ docker run --rm -it --name qgis_desktop -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY qgis-desktop qgis
Suppose that you have local directoty containing the tests to execute into QGIS:
/my_tests/travis_tests/
├── faketest.py
├── __init__.py
├── tclass.py
└── test_TravisTest.py
To run the tests inside the container, you have to mount the directory that
contains the tests (e.g. your local directory /my_tests) into a volume
that is accessible by the container.
$ docker run -d --name qgis-desktop -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-v /my_tests/:/tests_directory -e DISPLAY=:99 qgis-desktop
When done, you can invoke the test runnner (output follows, the failure is expected):
$ docker exec -it qgis-desktop sh -c "qgis_testrunner.sh travis_tests.test_TravisTest.run_fail"

The env var QGIS_EXTRA_OPTIONS defaults to
ENV QGIS_EXTRA_OPTIONS="--optionspath /qgishome"
contains extra parameters that are passed to QGIS by the test runner.
The purpose of /qgishome is to contain a QGIS settings file that disables
startup tips modal dialog.
