docs: Explain how builder configurations combine - #1770
HofmeisterAn merged 8 commits into
Conversation
A container keeps one startup callback and the last call wins, so setting one on a module builder drops the module's own provisioning. Most of the time that shows up as a wait strategy timeout with nothing pointing at the callback. Kafka is the other way round: it sets the callback while building, which drops the user's.

IContainerBuilder takes three type parameters, not two, so the WithWaitStrategy reference did not resolve. The WithStartupCallback overload takes a Func of the open container type, which cannot be crefed from outside the declaring type, so that one is plain code formatting instead. Verified against the generated XML on all five target frameworks, no unresolved references left. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01KPxmPtmKrAixGCBeGjX4WW

Better documentation of the builder API and how it behaves sounds like a good idea. The issue you mention isn't specific to Kafka or the WithStartupCallback. It's a general design decision that affects all modules and all builder (container, image, network, volume) configurations:
- Building a container is immutable, it always returns a new configuration. This is useful for A/B testing, for example.
- A
WithXbuilder call overwrites the previously configured value. - The exception is lists and dictionaries, where new values are appended by default.
- Lists and dictionaries cannot be modified by default.
- The exception is those that support
ComposableEnumerable<T>through the builder. - Modules come pre-configured, and that configuration is opinionated. If users override it using the default container builder APIs, we "don't" support it.
Replaces the startup callback and Kafka specific notes with the general rules, per review.

Makes sense, thanks. Reworked in 2abf6b2: one general "How builder configurations combine" section built from the rules you listed, and I dropped the startup callback and Kafka specific notes since overriding module defaults isn't supported anyway. |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winCorrect the wait-strategy combination rule.
WithWaitStrategypassesIEnumerable<WaitStrategy>to the enumerableCombineoverload, which appends the new strategies. It does not replace the existing strategy.The unchanged count is expected when the returned immutable builder is not assigned. When the returned builder is used, the base strategy and custom strategy both remain. Module builders can then skip their specialized default because

What does this PR do?
Adds a "How builder configurations combine" section to the container docs: builders are immutable, single values are replaced by the last call, lists and dictionaries append, only
ComposableEnumerable<T>values can be removed or modified, and overriding a module's opinionated defaults is not supported.Closes #1661.
Why is it important?
The issue asked to make it clearer when a configuration gets overwritten. Per review, this is a general builder rule rather than something specific to Kafka or
WithStartupCallback, so it is documented once for all builders.How was it tested?
Docs only. Checked the list and dictionary rules against
BuildConfiguration.Combine(lists concat, dictionaries merge with the new value winning on a duplicate key).Could you add the
documentationlabel so release drafter files it correctly.Summary by CodeRabbit
