What does this PR do?

This PR adds support for MongoDB init scripts without requiring users to manually configure the wait strategy.

When MongoDB init scripts are provided through /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d, the MongoDB image starts a temporary MongoDB instance to execute the scripts and then starts the final instance. The container can therefore log "waiting for connections" more than once.

This change detects init scripts and waits for the second "waiting for connections" message.

It also preserves a user-provided custom wait strategy.

Tests

  • Added a test verifying MongoDB init scripts are executed.
  • Added a test verifying custom wait strategies are preserved.
  • MongoDB module tests pass.
  • Checkstyle passes.
  • Spotless checks pass.

Fixes #3066

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • MongoDB containers recognize direct .js and .sh initialization scripts and directory mounts during startup.
    • Custom wait strategies configured through supported APIs are preserved.
    • Initialization scripts can set up databases and insert documents during container startup.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved readiness detection to ignore unrelated files, nested paths, and unsupported extensions.
    • Preserved expected startup behavior for replica sets and initialization scripts.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

MongoDBContainer now detects direct JavaScript and shell initialization scripts and directory mounts. It applies the required default wait behavior while preserving custom strategies. Tests verify script execution, path filtering, directory mounts, and both custom wait APIs.

Changes

MongoDB init-script support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Container wait handling
modules/mongodb/src/main/java/org/testcontainers/mongodb/MongoDBContainer.java
The container detects direct .js and .sh files and directory mounts under /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d. It applies the two-occurrence wait only when required and preserves strategies configured through waitingFor or setWaitStrategy.
Initialization and wait-strategy tests
modules/mongodb/src/test/java/org/testcontainers/mongodb/MongoDBContainerTest.java, modules/mongodb/src/test/resources/mongo-init.js, modules/mongodb/src/test/resources/mongo-init.sh
Tests verify JavaScript and shell script execution, path filtering, directory mounts, custom wait preservation, and wait-strategy transitions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 37ed6

MongoDB initialization-script support is covered by tests, but the new test code may fail configured PMD checks because of its executable-mode literal. Resolve or accept that static-analysis finding before merging.

match only direct files under INIT_SCRIPT_DIR with .js or .sh extensions,
excluding unrelated files and nested paths; handle directory mounts through a
separate path as needed, while preserving the existing initialization wait
behavior.
- Line 108: Override setWaitStrategy in MongoDBContainer to mark the strategy as
custom before delegating to GenericContainer, and use super.setWaitStrategy when
configuring the internal default so initialization does not overwrite direct
user configuration. Add a regression test covering hasInitScript() with a
strategy supplied through setWaitStrategy.

Resolve the PMD finding for the executable mode literal.

PMD 7.26.0 reports AvoidUsingOctalValues for 0777. The value is intentional as the Unix executable mode for mongo-init.sh. Use the repository-approved suppression or an existing permission constant. Do not replace it with an unexplained decimal literal.
