Elastic search TestContainers Timed out waiting for URL to be accessible in Docker - docker

Question

Local env:
MacOS 10.14.6
Docker Desktop 2.0.1.2
Docker Engine 19.03.2
Compose Engine 1.24.1
Test containers 1.12.1
I'm using Elastic search in an app, and I want to be able to use TestContainers in my integration tests. Sample code in a Play Framework app that uses ElasticSearch testcontainer:
#BeforeAll
public static void setup() {
private static final ElasticsearchContainer ES = new ElasticsearchContainer();
ES.start();
}
This works when testing locally, but I want to be able to run this inside a Docker container to run on my CI server. I'm getting this exception when running the tests inside the Docker container:
[warn] o.t.u.RegistryAuthLocator - Failure when attempting to lookup auth config (dockerImageName: alpine:3.5, configFile: /root/.docker/config.json. Falling back to docker-java default behaviour. Exception message: /root/.docker/config.json (No such file or directory)

?? Checking the system...
? Docker version should be at least 1.6.0
? Docker environment should have more than 2GB free disk space

I've read the instructions here: https://www.testcontainers.org/supported_docker_environment/continuous_integration/dind_patterns/
So my docker-compose.yml looks like (note: I've been testing with another ES container as seen commented out below, but I have not been using it with this test)($INSTANCE is a random 16 char string for a particular test run):
version: '3'
services:
# elasticsearch:
# container_name: elasticsearch_${INSTANCE}
# image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.7.2
# ports:
# - 9200:9200
# - 9300:9300
# command: elasticsearch -E transport.host=0.0.0.0
# logging:
# driver: 'none'
# environment:
# ES_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xms750m -Xmx750m"
mainapp:
container_name: mainapp_${INSTANCE}
image: test_image:${INSTANCE}
stop_signal: SIGKILL
stdin_open: true
tty: true
working_dir: $PWD
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- $PWD:$PWD
environment:
ES_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xms1G -Xmx1G"
command: /bin/bash /projectfolder/build/tests/wrapper.sh
I've also tried running my tests with this command but received the same error:
docker run -it --rm -v $PWD:$PWD -w $PWD -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock test_image:68F75D8FD4C7003772C7E52B87B774F5 /bin/bash /testproject/build/tests/wrapper.sh
I tried creating a postgres container the same way inside my testing container and had no issues. I've also tried making a GenericContainer with the Elasticsearch image with no luck.
I don't think this is a connection issue because if I run curl 172.17.0.1:{port printed to test console} from inside my test container, I do get a valid elastic search response with status code 200, so it almost seems like its timing out trying to connect even though the connection is there.
Thanks.
