Update in the GitHub Actions image's docker breaks docker-it-scala

[reidrac]

Looks like a recent update in the GHA image is breaking our tests with:

Cause: javax.ws.rs.client.ResponseProcessingException: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.ValueInstantiationException: Cannot construct instance of `com.spotify.docker.client.messages.ImageInfo`, problem: Null container

It started happening today. If this is an issue with the docker-client that docker-it-scala uses, how can we workaround this?

This is using ubuntu-latest image with docker-testkit-scalatest 0.12.0.

See: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/releases/tag/ubuntu22%2F20240609.1

Previous docker server was 24.0.9, now it is 26.1.3.

Thank you!

I'm also running into this issue.

I think the root cause error message is:

 [info]   com.spotify.docker.client.exceptions.DockerRequestException: Request error: GET unix://localhost:80/images/postgres:14/json: 200
[info]   at com.spotify.docker.client.DefaultDockerClient.propagate(DefaultDockerClient.java:2840)
[info]   at com.spotify.docker.client.DefaultDockerClient.request(DefaultDockerClient.java:2712)

I am finding the same issue
Has there been any workaround found?

[coltfred]

The workaround can be seen in our PR we just linked. It's a bug with docker 26, so you can run with docker 24 and it'll work fine.

I haven't had the time to investigate the issue further, but if anyone has further info please put it here to help someone along

The issue seems to stem that newer Docker Engines (from version 25 and onwards) are not providing/supporting the VirtualSize field that the underlying docker-client library from spotify is using.

Causing the error:

[info]   Cause: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.ValueInstantiationException: 
Cannot construct instance of `com.spotify.docker.client.messages.ImageInfo`, problem: Null virtualSize

I found the issue originally documented here:
openanalytics/shinyproxy#474
moby/moby#47215
moby/moby#47207

Newer versions of docker-client could be used, like:
https://github.com/dmandalidis/docker-client/

But this project should be updated to use it.

I don´t know of other workarounds, I will edit this document if I find it.
