Aca-Py test scenario including a container restart (with aca-py version upgrade)

[ianco]

Test for Issue #3269.

Script starts agents using docker-compose - alice agent is based on the Aca-Py 1.0.1 release image. Alice connects with and then issues a credential to bob and then the test shuts down the alice agent, restarts based on the acapy-test image (based on the local aca-py codebase) and then asks for a proof.

This is working! I'm going to release this PR as a simple test-with-restart and do a separate test with an askar-to-anoncreds wallet upgrade.

I believe you can add assertions into the example.py script. Basically if it exits with exit code 1 it fails and if it exists with exit code 0 it passes. There's some caveats with this though. I had a test exiting with code 0 locally but it failed with github actions because the acapy-controller library never received an event it was expecting.

If the example raises an exception then it will fail.

Looks good to me!

Some of those docker attrs are pretty complicated and might be fragile to upgrading the docker package, but upgrading it won't be necessary for a testing project so that ok.

Yah I agree. For some of the docker stuff it was a bit of trial and error so I'm not sure how fragile these tests are going to be :-S

I'm interested in potentially pulling some of that docker management complexity into an extra of the acapy_controller library in the future. That could be a convenient way to develop more of this style of test. As it stands, I think this is a great addition and I'm eager to get this kind of testing into the pipeline.

Agree. I've started a second test (to include an askar-to-anoncreds) upgrade. For now I'll refactor the common stuff into a util.py (in acapy repo) but agree this should eventually be a feature of the acapy_controller.
