Podman Compose 1.3.0 up -d command never returns/finishes/ends

[ArthoPacini]

Describe the bug
When running podman-compose up -d the command never returns, it stalls / freezes

To Reproduce

1. docker-compose.yaml:

services:
  service_a:
    image: docker.io/crccheck/hello-world
    container_name: "service_a"
    depends_on:
      service_b:
        condition: service_healthy
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "wget", "--quiet", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost:8000"]
      interval: 10s
      start_interval: 15s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 3

  service_b:
    image: docker.io/crccheck/hello-world
    container_name: "service_b"
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "wget", "--quiet", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost:8000"]
      interval: 10s
      start_interval: 15s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 3

networks:
  default:
    driver: bridge

2. Run docker-compose up -d:

podman-compose up -d
9a61f6744544dd5343a3e497579e2aadfbac156936d735e89749d95b520832f2
8d43c893be1ddbda564692e8e7e28f27f8a04c559ac1d38a121cf6b6736e4d29
7a350b27a718f4bda86977f51ef32ae75da0b78c38b7d5c84a1e3a62ad767254

Expected behavior
The command should end

Actual behavior
It requires CTRL-C to be called to terminate the program in which it outputs:

Output

• OS: Debian 12

This seems to be related to the podman version. I can run your example successfully w/ a more recent podman:

❯ podman-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d

foo_default

The podman-compose and podman versoins are as follows:

❯ podman-compose --version
podman-compose version 1.3.0
podman version 5.4.1

So you may try to work around this issue by upgrade to podman 5.x. Hope this helps!

Just to supply additional findings regarding this issue. It is indeed bug which fails to take into account the fact that podman prior to 4.6.0 doesn't support "podman wait --conditioni=healthy" and enters a dead loop. This bug is fixed by the PR #1184.

@ArthoPacini, do you have any chance to validate the PR #1184? Thanks!
