HostPortWaitStrategy strategy does not work for localhost bound ports

[jalaziz]

Expected Behaviour

When launching a container with a port bound to localhost, the wait strategy should work.

Actual Behaviour

The HostPortWaitStrategy fails to recognize the open port and eventually times out. This issue seems to only occur on Linux machines. MacOS works fine.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Setup a GitHub Actions workflow to launch a compose project through testcontainers.
2. The compose file:

   services:
     localstack:
       image: localstack/localstack
       ports:
         - "127.0.0.1:4566:4566"            # LocalStack Gateway
       environment:
         - DEBUG=${DEBUG-}
         - DOCKER_HOST=unix:///var/run/docker.sock
         - DYNAMODB_SHARE_DB=1
         - DYNAMODB_IN_MEMORY=1
       healthcheck:
         test: "curl --silent --fail localstack:4566/_localstack/health"
         interval: 1s
         retries: 5
         start_period: 20s
         timeout: 10s
       volumes:
         - "./.localstack/init-aws.sh:/etc/localstack/init/ready.d/init-aws.sh"  # ready hook
         - "./.localstack-volume:/var/lib/localstack"
         - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"
   

3. Run 'await new DockerComposeEnvironment(composeFilePath, 'docker-compose.yml').up();`
4. See error...

Environment Information

• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04
• Docker Version: 24.0.7
• Node version: 18.18.2
• Testcontainers version: 10.3.2

@jalaziz @cristianrgreco any solution for this?

I was in a previous project using:

  const environment = await new DockerComposeEnvironment(composeFilePath, composeFile)
    .withEnvironment({
      ...
    })
    .withWaitStrategy(serviceName, Wait.forHealthCheck())
    .up([serviceName]);

But now for a new project with lot of dependencies updated (ESM modules, different Node version...), it times out saying Port 52670 not bound after 60000ms (it seems to come from

testcontainers-node/packages/testcontainers/src/wait-strategies/host-port-wait-strategy.ts

Lines 45 to 57 in 9805f22

	private async waitForPort(container: Dockerode.Container, port: number, portCheck: PortCheck): Promise<void> {
	await new IntervalRetry<boolean, Error>(100).retryUntil(
	() => portCheck.isBound(port),
	(isBound) => isBound,
	() => {
	const message = `Port ${port} not bound after ${this.startupTimeout}ms`;
	log.error(message, { containerId: container.id });
	throw new Error(message);
	},
	this.startupTimeout
	);
	}
	}

).

Note I tried to use testcontainers with the latest version and also v9.6.0 that is on the other project.

Thank you,

EDIT: I'm on a MacOS Intel

EDIT2: I did other attempts to run the test without ESM settings into my Jest setup, but it's the same error. It's so weird...

EDIT3: On my side I'm using the strategy Wait.forHealthCheck() for both the working and failing projects

After spending some time on it, it seems my old way of bindings ports to make them random on the list:

    ports:
      - '127.0.0.1::5432'

is not working for any reason on the new project.

Switching to:

    ports:
      - '5432'

Don't tell why... the old way is working in a project with direct dependencies versions aligned (also I don't remember why I had to use the 127.0.0.1 at that time). Hope it helps 👍

@jalaziz @cristianrgreco any solution for this?

Unfortunately no solution. I've switched to Wait.forHealthCheck() with custom healtchecks for the time being.
