Provide LowKey Vault Test Container Package/Module for DotNet

[Xor-el]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's currently cumbersome to perform integration tests for services that depend on Azure Key Vault. Although we can use LowKey Vault as a test double, the process requires manually starting the Docker image. This manual step disrupts the workflow and does not integrate seamlessly with our testing pipeline.

Describe the solution you'd like

A dedicated LowKey Test Container Package/Module for .NET that automates the setup and teardown of the LowKey Vault Docker container as part of the test lifecycle, simplifying integration testing for Azure Key Vault dependencies.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually starting the LowKey Vault Docker container prior to running tests, which is inefficient and prone to errors.

Hi @Xor-el ,
thank you for reporting this issue and thank you for using Lowkey Vault!
This was a long term plan already for me to have better support for Testcontainers for other languages.

I cannot promise that I will succeed because I am not a .Net developer. As you might imagine, it will be a challenge for sure to accomplish this, but I will try to look into it and see what I can do. I think it would be best to implement this module in Testcontainers. As I see you have created an issue there as well: testcontainers/testcontainers-dotnet#1334

Please feel free to track these tickets for updates...

Thank you!

@nagyesta Thanks for the feedback. I also agree that it would be better suited to implement this in TestContainers like you mentioned.
I would take some time to see how the containers are implemented and see if it is something I can contribute.
Thanks once again.

Thank you @Xor-el ! I am sure you have already found it, but just in case you didn't, this is the most interesting class of the Java Testcontainers module: https://github.com/nagyesta/lowkey-vault/blob/main/lowkey-vault-testcontainers/src/main/java/com/github/nagyesta/lowkeyvault/testcontainers/LowkeyVaultContainer.java
Probably it can be useful as an example even if it needs to be ported.

Also, please feel free to reach out in case you are not sure how it works/should work!

Hello @nagyesta I’m excited to share that I’ve successfully implemented the .NET Testcontainer module for Lowkey Vault! 🎉
You can find the PR here: #1344.

Now, we wait for the PR review—fingers crossed! 🤞
Thank you so much for your guidance and support throughout this process.
