Docker Compose Profiles

Five Compose services across three profiles, one of which belongs to two profiles at once. Services with no profiles key always start; the rest are opt-in, which is the selection logic this fixture exists to test.

Preview, first 29 linesyaml
services:
  api:
    image: registry.example.invalid/example-org/orders:1.4.0
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"

  cache:
    image: registry.example.invalid/example-org/cache:2.1.0

  debug-tools:
    image: registry.example.invalid/example-org/tools:0.4.0
    profiles:
      - debug
    command: ["sleep", "infinity"]

  seed-data:
    image: registry.example.invalid/example-org/orders:1.4.0
    profiles:
      - debug
      - fixtures
    command: ["seed", "--rows", "100"]

  docs:
    image: registry.example.invalid/example-org/docs:1.0.0

Testing contract

Expected to pass
Scenario
Select the active service set for a given Compose profile
Expected result
With no profile active exactly 2 services are selected; activating debug selects 4, because seed-data belongs to both debug and fixtures

What is a .yaml file?

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data-serialization format using indentation, key-value pairs, and lists, and is a superset of JSON. It supports comments, anchors, and multiple documents per file, favoring readability for configuration. Its indentation sensitivity makes it error-prone to hand-edit.

How to use this file

Use an example YAML file to test config parsers, indentation and anchor handling, multi-document streams, and safe-loading to avoid arbitrary object construction.

How to use this file for testing

“Docker Compose Profiles” is a deterministic Testaroo fixture for Config testing, Config parsing, Editor testing. TOML, INI, YAML, .env, and dotfile configuration samples with nested sections and typed values, for testing config parsers, loaders, and environment tooling.

Documented properties for this file: YAML · 601 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Pipeline and infrastructure fixtures are inert configuration: steps reference fictional images and scripts, and nothing here executes. Run your linter, schema validator, migrator, or policy engine against them, and expect the deprecated-syntax and intentionally invalid variants to be rejected.

Point your config loader at the file and assert it reads the documented sections and typed values, including any deliberately-tricky nesting or comments.

Code examples

import yaml  # pip install pyyaml

with open("compose-profiles.yaml") as f:
    data = yaml.safe_load(f)
print(data)
