Create MongoDB container for build tests
Open a terminal window and run:
Once it is running the shell will return the container id that looks like:
Now we should enter in the container and run the mongoShell to operate on the db:
We are now ready to populate the db with some sample data for out tests suite.
Populating the Database
With the command use DATABASE_NAME MongoDB will create a new db called DATABASE_NAME, then we can check if it worked typing show dbs, since it hasn't any document it doesn't show the created db, so we need to insert a document by typing db.users.insert({"username": "daton", "password": "$2a$13$RnsMJ9C6LgZTOOYANiTKbO4vgnVo3MulMMfrL/Ly7E04sqSGmg8dO"}), now typing show dbs return also the list of the newly created db.
We can now exit from the shell and the container, press ctrl+c then ctrl+d:
