Linux containers sometimes fail to start on Windows when using Docker 4.12+

Describe the bug

While trying to use the dependencies for a task batect isn’t waiting for the dependencies to pass health checks.

Reproduction repo

given the following batect.yml

containers:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:12.8-alpine

  redis:
    image: redis:6-alpine

tasks:
  run:test:
    description: Run task with dependencies
    group: Run tasks
    dependencies:
      - redis
    run:
      container: postgres

Steps to reproduce

run the following command ./batect --log-file batect_logfile run:test

output

Running run:test...
redis: starting container...
postgres: waiting for dependency redis to be ready...

Error: Could not run container redis.
The pipe is being closed.

Clean up: done

The task run:test failed. See above for details.

Expected behaviour

tasks wait for redis to start

Actual behaviour

batect fails to wait for less than the docker defaults for healthchecks and fails within a second.

Also, just as an aside, thank you for the very cool tool. This particular issue notwithstanding, Batect has never skipped a beat.

No worries @MichaelKnightXero, thanks for getting back to me. Let’s leave this open until we solve it once and for all.
