Docker Compose V1 docker-compose up --wait option official documentation

💡 Result:

The --wait option is a feature of Docker Compose V2 and is not available in Docker Compose V1 [1]. Docker Compose V1, which uses the docker-compose command, was a standalone Python-based tool and did not include this functionality [1]. The --wait flag was introduced in the rewritten, Go-based Docker Compose V2 (invoked via the docker compose command) to allow the up command to block until services are running or healthy [2][3][4]. When used, it implies detached mode and waits for services to reach a healthy state—or, if no healthcheck is configured, it considers them ready once they are running [2][4]. Accompanying this is the --wait-timeout option, which specifies the maximum duration in seconds to wait for the project to reach that state [2][4][5]. If you are using a command starting with docker-compose, you are likely using V1 and will not have access to these flags [1]. To use --wait, you should transition to the modern docker compose CLI (V2) [2][6].

Keep the V1 startup path compatible.

NewComposeHelper can select docker-compose V1, while composeUpAndFindContainer always passes up --wait to ComposeHelper.Run. Docker Compose V1 does not support --wait, so startup fails before the devcontainer starts. Require Compose V2 or retain a V1-compatible startup and wait path.

In `@pkg/devcontainer/compose.go` at line 1010, Update composeUpAndFindContainer
and the NewComposeHelper-selected startup flow so Docker Compose V1 does not
receive the unsupported --wait flag. Either require Compose V2 before using
--wait or preserve a V1-compatible startup followed by the existing
container-readiness wait behavior.
