[bokjo]

Expected Behaviour

MySQL container should start and successfully connect to the Docker Desktop container
...

Actual Behaviour
starting the container throws an error:

Steps to Reproduce
Container start code:

const mySqlContainer = await new MySqlContainer(
      process.env.MYSQL_TEST_CONTAINER_IMAGE ? process.env.MYSQL_TEST_CONTAINER_IMAGE : "mysql:5.7",
    )
      .withUsername("user")
      .withUserPassword("userpw")
      .withRootPassword("rootpw")
      .withDatabase(dbName || "cart")
      .withCommand(["--sql-mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"])     
      .withExposedPorts(3306)
      .start();

Environment Information

• Operating System: MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 (was the same on 14.4.1) [Intel]

• Node version: v22.7.0 ( same outcome on v20.17.0 LTS)

You'll need to provide more info. The error says that the container doesn't exist, add a log consumer to the container or add a breakpoint and look at the container logs to see why it is exiting. The MySQL container runs as part of the build and doesn't have an issue, so it must be environment specific.
