We hit this too. Testcontainers 2.0.5 with the floating
solr:10-slimtag (now Solr 10.1.0) fails every container start withSolrException: invalid boolean value:, followed by HTTP 503 from the wait strategy.solr:10.0.0-slimis unaffected, so a build that used to pass broke without any code change when the tag moved.Starting the image by hand with the command
SolrContainerbuilds confirms it:solr start -f -DzkRun --host localhostfails on 10.1, while-DzkRun=truestarts and accepts a Collections API CREATE. We checked-DzkRun=trueon 9.4 and 10.1, so it also works as a stopgap on older images.For anyone blocked in the meantime, a subclass that rewrites
-DzkRunto-DzkRun=trueafterconfigure()works. #12148 looks like the right fix.
