Creating Postgres container never succeeds in connection

[dalemyers]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to use a Postgres container, but when I try and create it via a context manager, it never actually succeeds. If I run from terminal with debug logs I see the following over and over:

INFO     testcontainers.core.waiting_utils:waiting_utils.py:46 Waiting to be ready...

In Docker, the container is running and here are the logs:

2023-02-07 20:38:51 The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
2023-02-07 20:38:51 This user must also own the server process.

To Reproduce

Running on Windows with Docker desktop set to Linux containers:

with PostgresContainer("postgres:15.1") as container:
    print("Connected")

Note: I've tried various different docker images as far back as 9.0.22. All have exactly the same issue.

[JamesSommerville]

I am also encountering this same issue:
Postgres: 13.9
Windows: 10
Similar python packages and docker configuration relative to above

my co workers that are using Mac are having no issues running the same code.

[tillahoffmann]

I see the following over and over:

INFO     testcontainers.core.waiting_utils:waiting_utils.py:46 Waiting to be ready...

Do you have a copy of the final error message when the test eventually fails? This might be the same issue as #108, and @ikravets might have a fix in #283.

[JamesSommerville]

the final error message that I receive is the following: testcontainers.core.exceptions.TimeoutException: Wait time (120s) exceeded for _connect(args: (), kwargs {}). Exception: (psycopg2.OperationalError) could not translate host na me "localnpipe" to address: Unknown host

it does seem that the workarounds proposed in #108 are working as fixes

[tillahoffmann]

Thanks for sharing, @JamesSommerville. This is indeed the same issue as #108. Development for Windows is both slow and unreliable as I don't have access to a Windows machine, and GitHub Actions does not yet support running linux containers on Windows runners (cf. #310). Let's continue the discussion in #108.
