org.testcontainers.dockerclient.DockerMachineClientProviderStrategy - docker-machine executable was not found

When I try to run test containers I get the following error.

The docker machine not found in /root/.sdkman/candidates/gradle/current/bin, /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, /sac/tools/bin, /sac/tools/apache-ant-1.7.1/bin, /dsc/ddemainbuild/thirdparty/gradle/bin, /root/java11/openjdk-11.0.5/linux-x64/bin, /root/bin

This failure happens randomly. During successful execution, I get

DockerClientProviderStrategy - Found Docker environment with local Unix socket (unix:///var/run/docker.sock)

What is the cause for random failure? Attached the failing logs.

DockerMachineClientProviderStrategy is one of the last strategies Testcontainers tries out when looking for a working Docker environment. This means if you get this error, all previous strategy tests failed, so your actual error is likely unrelated to Docker Machine in any way.

From your description, I would expect, that you have a regular Docker installation, and UnixSocketClientProviderStrategy should be successful. Reasons, why it would sometimes fail, can be (among others) the Docker daemon failing to answer to ping requests, because of being under heavy load.
