No option to wait for container to finish before starting next gradle task

[Gregory-Berkman-Imprivata]

We are using Docker containers to perform database migrations before we start running tests in gradle. For short lived migration containers we have no issue but for long running migration containers the tests will begin before the migration has finished.

We have a work around where we create a dummy container that depends on the migration container (condition: service_completed_successfully)

Is there a way to configure the docker-compose up to wait till a service has completed successfully without this workaround?

Maybe you could use healthcheck to implement waiting for the migration.
