如何将命令行参数传递给docker-compose run？

Question

I'm trying to pass arguments to the underlying command that docker-compose runs, but I'm not sure how to do it.

This is what my non-docker command looked like:

npm run test:watch -- --verbose --match="matching test name"

Which passes --verbose --match="matching test name" to the test runner.

Now I want to run my tests in docker but I can't get this to work:

docker-compose run test-service-name -- --verbose --match="matching test name"

Is this possible or how should I go about this?

Answer 1

docker-compose run will interpret -- --verbose --match="matching test name" as the command and arguments

Usage:
    run [options] [-v VOLUME...] [-p PORT...] [-e KEY=VAL...] [-l KEY=VALUE...]
        SERVICE [COMMAND] [ARGS...]

You should put the command and all the arguments in the cli

docker-compose run test-service-name npm run test:watch --verbose --match="matching test name"

docker-compose is used to simplify not to complicate things up, for this you can define it permanently in the docker-compose.yml file using command

command: npm run test:watch --verbose --match="matching test name"
