SQL Test Container Fails to start on MacBook M1

According to Docker official website , Docker doesn't support SQL image for M1 processors ; however , it supports installing it by passing " --platform linux/x86_64 mysql" .
Actually , SQL docker is pulled successfully using this command
docker pull --platform linux/x86_64 mysql
the output :
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from library/mysql

Now , I want to use SQL container in my integration test , but docker fails to pull SQL.
The code used to initialize SQL test container
#DynamicPropertySource
static void dynamicPropertySource(DynamicPropertyRegistry dynamicPropertyRegistry) {
MySQLContainer<?> container = new MySQLContainer<>("mysql:8.0.26")
.withDatabaseName("sympl")
.withUsername("test")
.withPassword("test")
.withCommand("docker pull --platform linux/x86_64 mysql");
dynamicPropertyRegistry.add("spring.datasource.url", () -> container.getJdbcUrl());
dynamicPropertyRegistry.add("spring.datasource.username", () -> container.getUsername());
dynamicPropertyRegistry.add("spring.datasource.password", () -> container.getPassword());
container.start();
}
I tried to write the code withCommand() and without .withCommand.
After I run the test cases , it gives fails with the following logs :

Here is the docker logs
I am sure there is a workaround for this , but I couldn't find it till now .

I'm the current PM for Azure SQL Edge at Microsoft dropping by with an update to share. Docker Desktop v4.16 introduced beta support for the Virtualization framework, meaning you can now run x86/amd64 based SQL Server containers on M1/M2 silicon with macOS 13. This will be our recommended path for running SQL server containers on ARM based macOS going forward as it will enable you to develop against SQL Server 2017-2022 in addition to Azure SQL Edge. For a walkthrough on how to enable the feature and run a SQL Server 2022 container on macOS, check out https://devblogs.microsoft.com/azure-sql/development-with-sql-in-containers-on-macos/

why spring boot does not load application yml when packaged (With gradle)?

Not found anything interesting so far, so here am I, asking a question.
I got a spring boot application, that runs fine. Problem is : custom configuration !
I want it to run on port 8081 (and not default port 8080). So I added the application.yml in the src/main/resources directory, packaged it... And it run on port 8080
When I run the #SpringBootApplication class from intellij, it does run on port 8081 (I just added the application.yml file.) So why ?
It's a gradle multi module project. T added the application.yml file into the module that is actually packaged into a jar file. It is packaged using tha gradle shadow plugin, and does contain the application.yml file at the root of the jar file.
The application.yml is like this :
server:
port: 8081
I don't really know which information you'll need, so feel free to ask !
Any idea is welcome.
EDIT 1 :

Without seeing the actual code, I can recommend 2 things to try.
1- Have you missed to use the argument in main method-
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(ServerApplication.class, args);
}
2- Try to start the springboot server with arguments-
java -jar -Dserver.port=8081 ServerApplication.jar

It seems that Shadow Plugin is not the right thing to use with Spring Boot according to this comment:
the boot framework has it's own gradle plugin and method for packaging ditributable jar files. I dont' think I would combine shadow and the boot plugin in the same project. They will collide.
and also this.

Can't get Spring Boot application to work on Google Cloud Platform Flexible Environment

I'm having trouble deploying my Spring Boot application on the Google Cloud Platform Flexible environment.
I run the following command to deploy: mvn clean compile package -DskipTests appengine:deploy -P cloud-gcp
The cloud-gcp profile in my pom.xml has the following:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>cloud-gcp</id>
<build>
<plugins>

</profiles>
This is my app.yaml file located at src/main/appengine/app.yaml:

runtime_config:

Here is my application-gcp.properties:

This is the last lines I have in the logs. Nothing seems to break, no errors as far as I can tell. It seems to correctly connect to the Cloud SQL instance. I'm lost here. I've tried a lot of things, but I always get a 502 request from Spring Boot no matter what.
For information, the /liveness_check and /readiness_check always return 200 even when the server is not launched (which is strange...).
Tell me if you need any more informations on the configuration I am using.
Thank you in advance!

We finally solved our issue. For those who might have the same issue:
The problem was caused by our guava version. We add the version 18.0, which was problematic apparently. We added the following dependencies in the pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
<artifactId>guava</artifactId>
<version>28.2-jre</version>
</dependency>
And the problem was solved :)

Wow, just doing some venting here but have been pulling my hair out for about 2 weeks now attempting to deploy a spring boot app to google cloud. It's incredibly nerve wracking to hear that a modification of a guava dependency could cause an application to not startup - even far worse make the logs go silent with no trace of what is going on. At the moment, I too am dealing with a situation where there are no application logs to be found and no trace of what is going wrong while just simply trying to hit an endpoint after what google cloud tells me is a successful deploy.
This comment and I'm sure to write others in the future is more aimed at getting other people to vent their frustration as google cloud support is non-existent unless you pay a premium for it. Making matters worse the product appears to be just plain terrible in terms of allowing developers insights into what is actually going wrong when a deployment doesn't work. I hope this gets their attention and I hope others voice their frustration as well because this product is simply unusable when it gives no indication of what is going wrong with a deployment. I've scoured their docs to no avail and it seems others have similar issues. Unfortunately my hands are tied by my client to use google cloud otherwise I would have migrated away from it after seeing first hand some of the very basic ways it is flawed. If you're in the process of evaluating a cloud product I would highly recommend not using google.

Crash when trying to run WebGoat with a Java Agent

I am currently learning how to boot a web application with a java agent for monitoring.
The Web Application I chose was WebGoat, and running WebGoat with java -jar webgoat-server-8.0.0.M17.jar as stated in WebGoat's README works perfectly fine.
However, when I try to add my agent, I get the following mess of an error log:

I am running my agent as follows:
java -javaagent:/Users/path/to/jar/Spn-LangAgent-0.0.jar -jar webgoat-server-8.0.0.M17.jar --server.port=8080 --server.address=localhost
My agent is as follows:

The original contents of the agent were commented out except for a few print statements, and yet even with this, WebGoat is crashing on startup.
I tried another agent with WebGoat and it worked fine, so the only thing I can think of is that something is wrong with either my agent, or the way it is being packaged.

If someone could point me in the right direction in regards to figuring out why WebGoat is crashing, or if someone could provide more insight into why what I am currently doing is wrong, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Note: If the rest of my pom.xml is necessary for debugging, I will gladly provide it; it's just that the question is already very long as-is.

Webgoat (and also in most Spring-based application) relies on properties file (in properties or yaml format usually) to perform placeholder lookup.
The symptom in your failure indicate that Spring failed to lookup properties for placeholder processing.
Given that placeholder lookup works well without presence of your agent JAR, and with information you mentioned in comment, the problem is caused by
Your agent JAR provided application.properties (which has name collision with the properties file used by Webgoat for placeholder)
Agent JAR will be part of classpath, and probably even appear earlier than the main JAR
your empty application.properties "shadowed" the one in Webgoat main JAR. Which means, when Webgoat starts, Spring picked up your empty application.properties for its placeholder processing, hence failed.

The solution was mvn clean
Earlier I had an application.properties that was automatically added as part of the Spring Boot Initializr. The very presence of this file in my agent .jar, even with nothing inside, seems to have been the reason why WebGoat freaked out. Now that it is no longer present, WebGoat is running normally via java -javaagent:/Users/path/to/jar/Spn-LangAgent-0.0.jar -jar webgoat-server-8.0.0.M17.jar --server.port=8080 --server.address=localhost
I'd like to thank Adrian Shum for mentioning application.properties, since I had removed it a while back. mvn package didn't actually rebuild the .jar when I ran it, so the jar I had been testing on was the one that still contained application.properties.

SpringApplication in docker doesn't work anymore

i have a strange problem. I have created a spring application with some functional logic and started it locally - it worked.
Then i have exported my whole project to a .war file and build a docker image to run it also locally - it worked.
Since ca. 2 day...i guess i did some changes...i want to build and run my docker file again, but stops always at this point:

My Spring application doesn't start anymore. In general it would continue with this:

If i start my application locally from eclipse, it still works without any problems, but of course i want to build the docker image again.
Where do i have to search, if the SpringApplication start locally from the environment, but not from the docker images/container. Here it stops at
"The server defaultServer is ready to run a smarter planet."
Thank you in adnvance!
----------------- UPDATE -----------------
I found something. My exported .war file has just a size of 134kb. I am sure, it was ca. 35mb before. Does anyone has an idea?
