What happened?

We were previously using test-containers version 1.17.3.
When we switched to 1.19.7 some of our tests stopped working because the behaviour of GenericContainer.setWaitStrategy changed.

Our Code looked roughly like this:

postgreDBContainer = new PostgreSQLContainer<>(postgresImage).withExposedPorts(5432).withUsername("feature")
				.withPassword("xxx").withDatabaseName("xxx");
		postgreDBContainer.setWaitStrategy( 
				new LogMessageWaitStrategy().withRegEx(".*database system is ready to accept connections.*")
						.withTimes(1).withStartupTimeout(Duration.of(60, SECONDS)));

After the upgrade, the waitstrategy provided is no longer used.

I wrote a Test for this that can be copy-pasted into GenericContainerTest.java

    @Test
    public void shouldUseLatestWaitStrategy(){
        try (GenericContainer<?> container = new GenericContainer<>("testcontainers/helloworld:1.1.0")) {

            WaitForExitedState strategy1 = new WaitForExitedState(state -> false);
            WaitForExitedState strategy2 = new WaitForExitedState(state -> true);

            container.waitingFor(strategy1);
            container.setWaitStrategy(strategy2);
            assertThat(container.getWaitStrategy()).isEqualTo(strategy2);
        }
    }

I think the problem is because .waitingFor changes the field in GenericContainer, but setWaitStrategy changes it in GenericContainer.containerDef.

The PostgreSQLContainer-Constructor sets this.waitStrategy. After that it can no longer be changed by calling setWaitStrategy.
