[SOLVED] ContainerLaunchException: Aborting attempt to link to container

I have written a functional tests which uses mock containers using TestContainers.

When I am running a complete application test using ./gradlew clean build, still the error appears in console but only once (I believe before executing first functional tests) but it doesn't make any of my test Failed. However when I run them individually, I see some of the Functional Tests failed with this error.

For the sake of simplicity I have created simple test as below:

SampleE2ETest.java:

@MicronautTest(transactional = false)
@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
public class SampleE2ETest extends ContainerBaseTest {
    @Test
    void sampleTest() {
        assertThat("sadas").isEqualTo("asa");
    }

}

ContainerBaseTest.java

@Testcontainers
@Tag("integration")
@Tag("docker")
@Slf4j
public abstract class ContainerBaseTest {

    static DockerComposeContainer CONTAINER;

    public ContainerBaseTest() {
        if (CONTAINER == null) {
            final WaitStrategy waitStrategy = Wait.forListeningPort().withStartupTimeout(Duration.ofMinutes(2));
            Slf4jLogConsumer logConsumer = new Slf4jLogConsumer(log);

            log.info("Starting testcontainers...");

            CONTAINER = new DockerComposeContainer(new File("docker-compose.yml"))
                    // Without cron
                    .withExposedService("app1_1", 2929, waitStrategy).withLogConsumer("app1_1",logConsumer)
                    .withExposedService("app2_1", 8065, waitStrategy).withLogConsumer("app2_1",logConsumer)
                    .withExposedService("app3_1", 8090, waitStrategy).withLogConsumer("app3_1",logConsumer)
                    .withExposedService("app4_1", 9339, waitStrategy).withLogConsumer("app4_1",logConsumer)
                    .withExposedService("app5_1", 2222, waitStrategy).withLogConsumer("app5_1",logConsumer)
                    .withExposedService("app6_1", 18080, waitStrategy).withLogConsumer("app6_1",logConsumer)
                    .withExposedService("app7_1", 9090, waitStrategy).withLogConsumer("app7_1",logConsumer)
                    .withLocalCompose(true);

            CONTAINER.start();
            log.info("testcontainers started.");
        }
    }
}

Above test is getting failed with below error:
