Fixes #6310

JdbcDatabaseContainer#waitUntilContainerStarted treated the container as ready as soon as Statement#execute(testQuery) returned true. That only means the query produced a result set. It does not mean the results can actually be read. As @szymonm found in the issue thread, Trino accepts SELECT count(*) FROM tpch.tiny.nation during startup, and the query then fails with No nodes available to run query once the results are fetched. The container is reported ready anyway, and the first user query fails.

This change reads the test query's result set to the end before returning. If fetching the results fails, the exception goes to the existing retry path and the query is tried again until it succeeds or the startup timeout is reached. The built-in test queries are constant or trivially small SELECTs (SELECT 1, SELECT 1 FROM DUAL, OrientDB's SELECT FROM V on a fresh database, ...), so reading their results costs essentially nothing for the other databases. The fix is in the shared JdbcDatabaseContainer, so it covers both TrinoContainer classes (and PrestoContainer, which has the same structure) without copying the retry loop into each module.

Tests

  • Added JdbcDatabaseContainerTest#testQueryIsRetriedIfReadingItsResultsFails. It uses a stubbed connection where execute succeeds but ResultSet#next() throws on the first attempt, and it asserts that the readiness check retries (2 connection attempts). It fails on main (Expecting AtomicInteger(1) to have value: 2) and passes with this change. It needs no Docker and is deterministic, unlike the Trino startup race.

Verification done:

  • ./gradlew :testcontainers-jdbc:test: all tests pass
  • ./gradlew :testcontainers-trino:test :testcontainers-postgresql:test against real containers: 4/4 and 34/34 pass
  • spotlessApply, checkstyleMain, checkstyleTest on the jdbc module: clean

(I used an AI coding assistant while preparing this change; I reviewed and tested it myself.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • JDBC database startup now respects the remaining startup time when running readiness checks, including while reading query results. Startup fails with a timeout if the deadline expires.
    • Startup continues when the JDBC driver does not support query timeouts, and can retry readiness checks after result-fetching errors.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

JDBC container startup now applies a query timeout based on the remaining startup time when the driver supports it. Startup checks the deadline while reading query results and raises SQLTimeoutException when it expires. Tests cover retries, timeout cases, and resource cleanup.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bound readiness query execution
modules/jdbc/src/main/java/org/testcontainers/containers/JdbcDatabaseContainer.java, modules/jdbc/src/test/java/org/testcontainers/containers/JdbcDatabaseContainerTest.java
Startup sets the readiness query timeout from the remaining startup time, logs and continues if the driver does not support query timeouts, and checks the deadline while reading results. Tests cover retry after a result-read error, timeout failures during result reading, and JDBC resource cleanup.

Readiness now waits for query results, but a slow Trino fetch can delay startup beyond its configured timeout. The overrun is bounded by the driver timeout; merge with owner awareness or enforce the startup deadline during fetching.

The four Netlify failures on the previous head (356f8d8) all link to the same deployment, 6ab5310f87e6c80008615731. Its public API reports state error, but the build-details API returns 401 Access Denied, so I could not establish the cause from the available output. The new head (06dd86c) now has the same four failed checks, pointing to deployment 6abf9ac7d2e13000087dddf3.

Could someone with access check the deployment logs? The previous CircleCI minimal_core check passed; for the follow-up, the six focused JDBC tests and the JDBC formatting/checkstyle checks passed locally.
