Does Wait.forHealthCheck support the Docker Compose healthcheck configuration?

[wujekbogdan]

I'd like to use Docker Compose health checks combined with DockerComposeEnvironment.

The documentation isn't explicit about it, but it seems that Wait.forHealthCheck only supports the HEALTHCHECK entry provided by the Dockerfile. Am I right?

Hi @wujekbogdan, docker compose doesn't support defining a healthcheck via the CLI, which is what the docker-compose library used by Testcontainers uses.

As you're using docker-compose, why not define the healthcheck for the container in the compose file itself?
