Quarkus BOM breaks Testcontainers starting with 1.16.0

Hi, I tried to update testcontainer from version 1.15.3 to 1.16.0 and my tests crashed with the following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find a valid Docker environment. Please see logs and check configuration

This is my test:

@Testcontainers
public class testContainer {
  @Test
    public void containerWithInitScriptShouldWork() {
      Jdbi jdbi = Jdbi.create("jdbc:tc:postgis:13-3.1:///testWIthData?TC_INITSCRIPT=sql/init_sql.sql")
          .installPlugin(new PostgresPlugin())
          .installPlugin(new Jackson2Plugin());
  
      List<Map<String, Object>> values = jdbi.withHandle(handle ->
          handle.createQuery("select ID, LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME from users")
              .mapToMap().list());
      assertEquals(1, values.size());
      Map<String, Object> data = values.get(0);
      assertEquals(1, data.get("id"));
      assertEquals("Doe", data.get("last_name"));
      assertEquals("John", data.get("first_name"));
    }
}

I tried on macOS and Linux but neither worked (same for Github actions).

Application:

• Java 11
• Quarkus
• maven

I have no idea why, but Quarkus’ BOM forces docker-java-api version to 3.2.8: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/quarkus/quarkus-bom/2.0.3.Final/quarkus-bom-2.0.3.Final.pom

This will break your project. Consider reporting to the Quarkus team and temporary forcing docker-java-api and docker-java-transport-zerodep to the version that Testcontainers defines (3.2.11 as per https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.testcontainers/testcontainers/1.16.0).

/cc @Ladicek who added the enforcement in https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/commit/11f2e68f8c0ac6627b1b0c87e5b675a6dee857f2

Ah one general recommendation for Maven, though. If you add the Maven Enforcer plugin and enable dependency convergence check, that helps a lot. Something like this:

        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>${version.maven-enforcer-plugin}</version>
          <executions>
            <execution>
              <id>enforce-dependencies</id>
              <goals>
                <goal>enforce</goal>
              </goals>
              <configuration>
                <rules>
                  <dependencyConvergence />
                </rules>
              </configuration>
            </execution>
          </executions>
        </plugin>
