Warning

Reusable Containers is still an experimental feature and the behavior can change. Those containers won't stop after all tests are finished.

The Reusable feature keeps the containers running and next executions with the same container configuration will reuse it. To use it, start the container manually by calling start() method, do not call stop() method directly or indirectly via try-with-resources or JUnit integration , and enable it manually through an opt-in mechanism per environment. To reuse a container, the container configuration must be the same .

Reusable containers are not suited for CI usage and as an experimental feature not all Testcontainers features are fully working (e.g., resource cleanup or networking).
