Delay in catching docker exit code in bash script

Toying around with scheduling a bash script that spins up a docker container to see if windmill would flag a job as failed if the container exited with 1. Inside the container is a py script that craps out with a sys.exit(1) in about half runs. Unless I set a "sleep" in the bash script windmill considers the run successful regardless of how the docker container exits. Anyone know why that is? containerid=$(docker run -d crashing-container:v1.0 python main.py -r) #sleep 1 exitcode=$(docker inspect --format='{{.State.ExitCode}}' $containerid) echo "Container exit code: " $exitcode if [ $exitcode -eq 0 ]; then echo "Container {$containerid} ExitCode:{$exitcode} - Yay!" exit 0 #unless sleep, bash script always exits through here... else echo "Container {$containerid} ExitCode:{$exitcode} - Fail!" exit 1 fi

That looks like a bug indeed do you there there is a way to reproduce this with using exit codes and sleep to mimic the timings instead of using docker ? If yes, could you file a github issue ?

using a bash script to execute a python script which randomly craps out using sys.exit(1) does not produce what I see with docker above. Nevermind.. The docker metadata is obviously set AFTER the container is finished executing its main process and shut down. Adding a sleep after docker run, or better yet using "docker wait "$containerid" is the trick
