RabbitMQ startup fails due to missing wait/retry

[tharwan]

Describe the bug

The RabbitMQ container fails to start up properly.

To Reproduce

test_container = RabbitMqContainer(
 image="rabbitmq:3.9.10",
 )
test_container.start() # the readiness_probe will fail

I am happy to contribute a PR. Assuming that the current tests pass just fine in the pipeline. Are there any tests to simulate a slower container startup?

[tillahoffmann]

Thanks for reporting. Could you please provide all the information requested in the issue template?

[tharwan]

I can not share all python packages, but I think that's not necessary anyhow.

Our fix to make it work was

from pika.connection import Parameters
Parameters.DEFAULT_CONNECTION_ATTEMPTS = 10
test_container.start()

[tillahoffmann]

Two more questions: Could you please also share the traceback? Does this test work on your machine?

testcontainers-python/rabbitmq/testcontainers/rabbitmq/__init__.py

Lines 17 to 24 in 8a3a958

	.. doctest::
	>>> import pika
	>>> from testcontainers.rabbitmq import RabbitMqContainer
	>>> with RabbitMqContainer("rabbitmq:3.9.10") as rabbitmq:
	... connection = pika.BlockingConnection(rabbitmq.get_connection_params())
	... channel = connection.channel()

I came across the same problem.
I am using DinD in a self hosted GitLab Instance. Gitrunner runs on a linux vm, docker version is 24.0.2.
Python venv for the job: pytest, testcontainers-rabbitmq

The Job output for running a basic publish/receive test:

Another fix is to add pika.exceptions.AMQPConnectionError to the @wait_container_is_ready decorator of the readiness_probe method.
Connection is then established after ~ 6 attempts.
Also I changed loglevel to debug for testcontainers.core.waiting_utils. (So that the failed connection attempts are shown in job output)
