Adds fakesnow, a local Snowflake fake backed by DuckDB. The official snowflake-jdbc driver connects to it unmodified, so JVM projects can test VARIANT, LATERAL FLATTEN and QUALIFY without a Snowflake account or a paid emulator.

The Java module is at anjeongkyun/testcontainers-fakesnow (Apache-2.0), published as io.github.anjeongkyun:testcontainers-fakesnow:0.1.0. I maintain it.

Bumped the entry to 0.1.2, which is the current release.

Since opening this the module has picked up a few things worth mentioning: it now defaults to fakesnow 0.11.15, and the compatibility probe in its tests covers batch inserts, setTimestamp binding, getPrimaryKeys and prepared statement side effects, with the versions each needs. Several of those work because of fixes that went upstream into fakesnow itself, so the module and the fake have been moving together.

No rush on my side, just flagging that it's still current if it's useful to have in the registry.

Review Change Stack

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added documentation for the community-maintained Fakesnow Testcontainers module.
    • Included setup instructions, Maven dependency details, and a usage example.
    • Documented support for testing Snowflake-style SQL locally without a Snowflake account.

Walkthrough

The change adds a fakesnow module entry to the index. The entry documents its Java usage, Maven dependency, and DuckDB-backed Snowflake-compatible behavior.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Module index entry

Adds the fakesnow relational-database entry with repository information, a Testcontainers usage example, a Maven dependency snippet, and module behavior details.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9024c

The new module documentation may lead consumers to incomplete Maven setup because the required Snowflake JDBC driver is not listed, which could cause builds or tests to fail. The change is otherwise localized and mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

🌐 Web query:

https://github.com/anjeongkyun/testcontainers-fakesnow README snowflake-jdbc transitive dependency

💡 Result:

The project anjeongkyun/testcontainers-fakesnow does not include the Snowflake JDBC driver as a transitive dependency. It is a Testcontainers module designed to facilitate testing with fakesnow, and users are expected to provide the Snowflake JDBC driver themselves to connect to the fake instance [1][2]. While fakesnow (the underlying service) supports connections from any client via a standalone HTTP server, the integration requires the official snowflake-jdbc driver to be added manually to your project's dependencies to execute JDBC-based tests [3][4][5]. There is no automatic inclusion of the Snowflake JDBC driver in the testcontainers-fakesnow package [2].

Document the required snowflake-jdbc dependency.

testcontainers-fakesnow does not provide snowflake-jdbc transitively. Add the driver dependency or state that consumers must add it separately.
