Thanks for your contribution @konstantinosGkilas. It seems, we would still have issues with that rely on DockerImageName image = DockerImageName.parse(
"confluentinc/cp-kafka:7.3.0@sha256:1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd"
);
KafkaContainer container = new KafkaContainer(image).withKraft();But I don't think this needs to block this PR, since it is already an improvement over the status quo. Note that CI is failing for linting issues, so unfortunately you have to run |
When parsing image names like "image:7.3.0@sha256:abcd", the tag was previously discarded. This caused getVersionPart() to return the sha256 digest instead of the tag, breaking version-based feature checks in modules like Kafka, Neo4j, Elasticsearch, etc. Now getVersionPart() returns the tag when both are present, and a new getDigest() method provides access to the sha256 digest. RemoteDockerImage uses the digest for pulling when available. asCanonicalNameString() correctly outputs "image:tag@sha256:hash" format.

Thanks for the review @kiview ! I've addressed the linting issues and also took a stab at the getVersionPart() limitation you mentioned. When both tag and digest are present (e.g. confluentinc/cp-kafka:7.3.0@sha256:…), getVersionPart() now returns the tag (7.3.0) instead of the digest, so version-based checks in modules like Kafka, Elasticsearch, Neo4j, etc. should work correctly. A new getDigest() method provides access to the sha256 when needed, and RemoteDockerImage uses it for pulling.asCanonicalNameString() also outputs the full image:tag@sha256:hash format. I could not locate any other open issue, also affected by this change positively. If you have something in mind please feel free to reference it as well. |

Thanks for looking at the versioning part @konstantinosGkilas. Malformed tags with sha present will now be considered valid and normalized: DockerImageName
.parse("repo/image:tag:extra@sha256:1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd")
.assertValid();Normalized to: Also, I don't think we should change the hashCode/equals contract here, might create some confusion to users. DockerImageName a = DockerImageName.parse(
"repo/image:1.0@sha256:1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd"
);
DockerImageName b = DockerImageName.parse(
"repo/image:latest@sha256:1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd"
); |
I will have another look probably with a small change the image parsing/evaluation should work. Also https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/actions/runs/23963765698/job/69959157481?pr=11629#logs seems to have issues besides my PR. |

Yep, that run looked like some networking glitched, triggered a re-run. |
- Use split(":", 2) to preserve full tag content instead of silently
truncating at extra colons
- Remove @EqualsAndHashCode.Exclude from tag field so images with
different tags are not incorrectly equal
- Validate tag against TAG_REGEX in Sha256Versioning.isValid()
- Add test cases for malformed tag rejection and tag-based equality

Does this mean that the tag has a higher priority than the digest? If yes, I think that is not a good idea, because version tags are mutable and can suddenly point to another build. In contrast, digests are immutable and will always point to the exact same build. In light of recent supply chain attacks, preferring digests over tags is of particular importance.

Hi @burneyy , great point on supply chain security — and you're right that tags are mutable while digests are immutable.
However, getVersionPart() returning the tag is intentional here. It's used exclusively for version-based compatibility checks in modules like KafkaContainer, ElasticsearchContainer, Neo4jContainer, etc., where a human-readable version string (e.g. 7.3.0) is needed for version comparisons.
The actual image pulling in RemoteDockerImage already prefers the digest:
String pullTag = imageName.getDigest() != null ? imageName.getDigest() : imageName.getVersionPart();
So when both tag and digest are present, the image is always pulled by its immutable digest — the tag is never used for pulling. The security concern is therefore already handled.

Hi @konstantinosGkilas,
I see, apologies for the noise then and thanks for the explanation! Happy to hear that the digest is preferred over the version tag when performing the actual pulling already. Thanks for taking care of this issue - much appreciated 🙏

luckily im not a maintainer and i dont have to vote on this. But this code, i understand it, but I dont WANT to understand it. I mean split/2 is basically something i must use more than a couple of seconds to process. A regex would be so much easier to read:
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^(?<beforeDigest>[^:]+):(?<tag>[^:]+)$");
Matcher m = p.matcher("host.ghcr.com:111111111");
if (m.matches()) {
m.group("beforeDigest"); // "host.ghcr.com"
m.group("tag"); // "111111111"
}ignore the fact that i dont include @sha256

It aligns with pre-existing code though.

Thank you @konstantinosGkilas, LGTM now.
I updated to HEAD, to also re-trigger a clean CI run (things were stuck, GHA as usual).

88-116: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd a negative compatibility test for mismatched tags with the same digest-bearing image.
The new tests confirm digest-pinned images are compatible with an untagged reference. Add a test confirming a tag+digest image is not compatible with a reference that specifies a different, non-matching tag. This directly exercises the tag-sensitive equality this PR introduces and guards against future regressions.

Fixes #10527
Summary
DockerImageNamewhere images containing both a tag and a digest (e.g.,postgres:16.8@sha256:...) had the tag leak into the repository name, causingisCompatibleWith()to incorrectly fail@sha256:so that the repository is correctly extractedContext
The bug originates from
DockerImageName's constructor parsing logic at line 90, where images containing both a tag and a digest (e.g.,postgres:16.8@sha256:301bcb...) have theremoteNamesplit only on@sha256:, leaving the tag embedded in the repository (postgres:16.8instead ofpostgres). This causesisCompatibleWith()to fail because the repository comparison becomes"postgres:16.8".equals("postgres"). While downstream projects like kroxylicious have worked around this by explicitly declaring compatibility viaasCompatibleSubstituteFor(), the fix should reside in testcontainers-java itself so that digest-pinned images are parsed correctly without requiring manual workarounds.Test plan
DockerImageNameTestandDockerImageNameCompatibilityTestpassisCompatibleWith()succeeds for digest-only, tag+digest, and registry/tag+digest images
