@Testcontainers is not found in parentclass

i am currently trying to upgrade from testcontainers version 1.11.4 to 1.12.1
it looks there might be an regression between that versions.

our current code (using v 1.11.4 looks like that). It uses an abstract base class that contains the @testcontainers annotation.

@Testcontainers
abstract class MongoTests {
  ...
}

class MongoRepositoryIT(
...
) : MongoTests() {
  ...
}

this setup causes an runtime exception when upgrading to v 1.12.1:

Caused by: org.junit.platform.commons.PreconditionViolationException: Illegal state: required test class is not present in the current ExtensionContext
	at org.junit.platform.commons.util.Preconditions.condition(Preconditions.java:281)
	at org.junit.platform.commons.util.Preconditions.notNull(Preconditions.java:54)
	at org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtensionContext.getRequiredTestClass(ExtensionContext.java:141)
	at org.testcontainers.junit.jupiter.TestcontainersExtension.findTestcontainers(TestcontainersExtension.java:62)

	at org.junit.jupiter.engine.execution.ConditionEvaluator.evaluate(ConditionEvaluator.java:64)
	... 41 more

i can work around that by putting the @testcontainers annotation directly into the concrete test class:

@Testcontainers
class MongoRepositoryIT(...)

@abendt-mhp could you please try 1.12.0? I think it may be caused by #1530

sure. its the same exception with v 1.12.0. the workaround also works

@abendt-mhp thanks!

FYI this task is up for grabs if anyone wants to contribute it :) We will eventually take a look, but would also appreciate a fix contributed.

I confirm that org.testcontainers.junit.jupiter.inheritance.InheritedTests test fails if we remove @Testcontainers annotation from it.

I'd be interested taking this on

@bmuskalla thanks! It is yours 👍

I will soft timebox it to 7 days, just so that we can check in one week whether you are still working on it :)

@bsideup friendly ping :)

@bmuskalla thanks for the ping! 👍 there is one trivial thing (codestyle), happy to merge after 🎉
