GenericContainer tries to talk to remote registry too soon (during instance initialization)

I'm running tests on a machine that doesn't currently have connectivity to the Docker Hub. Certainly, I expect TestContainer-based cases to fail in that case. So I have written a JUnit rule to conditionally disable these test cases when a certain configuration setting has been made, and write something like this in my test case:

public static ConditionalIgnore skip =
        ConditionalIgnore.needsDocker(ConfigFactory.load("test"));

// VaultContainer is my own subclass of GenericContainer
public static VaultContainer VAULT = new VaultContainer();

@ClassRule
public static final RuleChain rules = RuleChain.outerRule(skip)
        .around(VAULT);

The problem I'm seeing is, however, that this requires instantiating the VaultContainer class, which will call the GenericContainer constructors, and those constructors will actually try to talk to the Docker Hub:

The problem is here (line numbers don't match up because the stack trace is from 1.1.6):

There's a very interesting comment there ("Mimic old behavior where we resolve image once it's set") that tells us that this behavior is intentional. What I would suggest is that the behavior is at odds with the sort of uses that JUnit rules are meant to support; the test rule should arguably take no "risky" actions at all unless the Statement is actually invoked, i.e. in the GenericContainer.start() method, which already does call the getDockerImageName() method anyway. (And is it just me, or is it also weird that a String getter like getDockerImageName() would talk to the network?)

コンストラクター、および setDockerImageName()、getDockerImageName()、start() のエントリーポイント付近にある core/src/main/java/org/testcontainers/containers/GenericContainer.java を読みます。コンテナの構築時にはリモートレジストリに接続せず、起動時には引き続きイメージが解決されることを確認します。関連する既存のコンテナテストでこの動作を確認してください。
