Question: is it possible to run a container as an executable in an sh_binary or sh_test?

[njlr]

I was wondering if it possible to run a container_image (using the Bazel configured toolchain) inside of an sh_binary or sh_test? This would be a powerful feature, for example to test code that only works inside of a particular container.

If it is possible, is there an example of this?

Do you mean loading the oci_image target into the daemon and asserting its behavior with a bash test?

Yes. Checking the behavior would probably mean asserting a particular exit code.

We have structure_test for that.

rules_oci/examples/env_inheritance/BUILD.bazel

Lines 25 to 29 in a66598d

	structure_test(
	name = "test",
	config = ["test.yaml"],
	image = ":image",
	)

which uses https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/container-structure-test under the hood

Ah thank you. It sounds like I am looking for commandTests.
