Netbeans, integration tests, Docker

Now that we've merged...

• OIDC auth: MPCONFIG provisioning, PKCE support and integration tests #9273

.... Netbeans users see Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find a valid Docker environment. Please see logs and check configuration if they try to build and don't have Docker running.

From the thread in Slack, @poikilotherm suggests reconfiguring Netbeans like this:

We should try it out and make a PR to update a future versions of https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.0/developers/classic-dev-env.html#build-the-dataverse-software-war-file above where we say to click build in Netbeans:

I think I'm in favor of skipping any Testcontainers test when no Docker is available and still keep integration tests active by default, just like you don't skip unit tests by default.

Simply using @Testcontainers(disabledWithoutDocker = true) does the trick.

The output of Maven will still show that the tests have been up for running, but where skipped:

@poikilotherm sounds like a great fix for now.

Longer term, we should figure out where we want the integration tests to run. I don't know if Docker is installed on Jenkins or the EC2 instances it spins up, for example.

FWIW: They already run in Github Actions, just not for the unit tests job, but in the IT job right after 😉

Right, right. I think we touched on this briefly during the container meeting this morning. That's how Coveralls gets updated, by GitHub Action. So as we add integrations tests, our coverage shown there should go up.
