📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The REST catalogue test workflow now runs when the Docker Compose file changes. It caches Docker images using the Compose file hash and allows 600 seconds for Docker Compose services to start.

Changes

REST catalogue workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow triggers and container startup
.github/workflows/rest-catalog-tests.yml
The workflow path filters include infra/local/docker-compose.yml for pushes and pull requests. A Docker image cache step uses ScribeMD/docker-cache@0.5.0. The Docker Compose wait timeout increases from 300 to 600 seconds.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b4bdb

This workflow change adds Docker image caching, but tag-based cache reuse can leave CI testing an older image after a registry tag moves. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to pin image digests or refresh cache keys; no merge-blocking issue is evidenced.

Docker Compose official documentation docker compose up default pull policy existing local image tag

💡 Result:

In Docker Compose, the default behavior when running docker compose up depends on the pull_policy configuration defined for each service [1][2]. When no pull_policy is explicitly set in your compose.yaml file, Docker Compose defaults to the missing policy (also referred to as if_not_present for backward compatibility) [1][3][2]. Under this default policy, Docker Compose will only attempt to pull the image from the registry if it is not already available in the local platform cache [1][2]. There is one critical exception to this rule: the latest tag [1][3][2]. Even when the missing policy is in effect, Docker Compose will always attempt to pull the image if it uses the latest tag, ensuring that you receive the most recent version available in the registry [1][2]. If you need to change this behavior, you can explicitly configure the pull_policy in your compose.yaml file [1][2]: - always: Compose always attempts to pull the image from the registry, regardless of whether it exists locally [1][3]. - never: Compose does not attempt to pull from the registry and relies entirely on the local cache. If the image is missing, the service will fail to start [1][2]. Additionally, you can override the pull behavior for the up command by using the --pull flag [4]: - docker compose up --pull always - docker compose up --pull missing - docker compose up --pull never

Citations:


Use immutable image references for the Docker cache.

docker compose up reuses locally loaded images when pull_policy is unset. Since the cache key changes only with infra/local/docker-compose.yml, a registry tag update can leave tests using an older image. Pin the images to digests or change the cache key during each deliberate refresh.
