MySQLContainer

✓ from testcontainers.mysql import MySQLContainer

✗ from testcontainers.mysql import MySQLContainer

Start a MySQL 8.0 container, get connection parameters, and run a query.

from testcontainers.mysql import MySQLContainer with MySQLContainer('mysql:8.0') as mysql: connection_url = mysql.get_connection_url() print(f"Connection URL: {connection_url}") # Use the connection URL with a MySQL driver import pymysql conn = pymysql.connect(**mysql.get_connection_params()) cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT version();") print(cursor.fetchone()) conn.close()

Debug

Known issues

breakingMySQLContainer requires a Docker image tag (e.g., 'mysql:8.0') as of v0.0.1rc1. Older versions may have used a default tag, which no longer works.

fix

Always specify an image tag: MySQLContainer('mysql:8.0').

affects: >=0.0.1rc1

gotchaget_connection_url() returns a JDBC-style URL (jdbc:mysql://...). Use get_connection_params() to get a dict suitable for Python drivers (pymysql, mysql-connector-python).

fix

Use mysql.get_connection_params() for Python driver connections.

affects: all

gotchaContainer may fail silently if Docker is not running or if ports are occupied. Always check container logs or use wait_for() strategies.

fix

Ensure Docker is running and free ports are available. Use with statement for automatic cleanup.
