Working with short-lived containers

[g0loob]

How to wait until container finishes its work? Or how to detect that container has exited? I have a console application in a Docker container, and I want to:

1. start the container,
2. wait until it's finished,
3. do a clean up and
4. continue with the rest of the test.

I noticed that Java library has OneShotStartupCheckStrategy and IndefiniteWaitOneShotStartupCheckStrategy for such scenarios, but I can't find anything similar for .NET.

You can use a custom wait strategy. Similar to:

https://github.com/HofmeisterAn/dotnet-testcontainers/blob/de4c4a251152ee2cfdcd4061c8b1bcc0621e692f/src/DotNet.Testcontainers/Configurations/WaitStrategies/UntilContainerIsRunning.cs#L14

either wait until the container reaches the exit state or use whatever signals a finished run. StartAsync completes when the wait strategies are successful.

GetExitCode returns the exit code of the container.
