Follows up on the registry PR where @mdelapenya suggested a Go flavor for the Java module (testcontainers/community-module-registry#192).

fakesnow is a Snowflake fake backed by DuckDB. It serves the Snowflake REST API over HTTP, so gosnowflake connects to it unmodified and Snowflake-flavoured SQL works without a Snowflake account.

Generated with modulegen new module -n fakesnow -t FakeSnow -i ghcr.io/tekumara/fakesnow:0.11.21, then filled in.

Two things are worth a look.

The wait strategy reads the log, not the port. Docker publishes the mapped port before the application binds, so wait.ForListeningPort reports ready while uvicorn is still starting and the first connection fails. wait.ForLog("Application startup complete") is what the server actually prints when it is serving.

ConnectionString always puts the account in the DSN. Without it gosnowflake derives the account from the host, which has no account part when the host is a container address, and the failure is a confusing one. WithAccount("") is rejected for the same reason. fakesnow accepts any credentials, so the other options only change what the driver sends.

The default image is 0.11.21 rather than something older. db.Begin() sends BEGIN, which failed against fakesnow's server until tekumara/fakesnow#444; TestTransaction covers that and fails on earlier images.

Tests start a real container and go through database/sql: VARIANT via PARSE_JSON(...):k[1], LATERAL FLATTEN, QUALIFY, a transaction rolled back, and the options reflected in the DSN. Both examples are runnable. go test ./... passes in 67s.

Databases are not created for you, so the tests and the second example run CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS first. The docs say so too.

suggestion: we prefer having a port strategy over a log-only one. If you need both, fine to combine them using a wait.ForAll strategy

fakesnow runs a Snowflake fake backed by DuckDB, serving the Snowflake
REST API over HTTP, so gosnowflake connects to it unmodified.

ConnectionString returns a DSN ready for sql.Open. The account is always
part of it: gosnowflake otherwise derives the account from the host,
which has no account part when the host is a container address.

The wait strategy reads the server's startup log rather than polling the
port, since docker publishes the port before the application binds.
Follows the activemq module, which combines both with wait.ForAll.

Also bumps the indirect thrift to v0.24.0, which clears the advisories
coderabbit flagged. arrow-go pins v0.22.0, so it needs the explicit
requirement here.

Thanks, both addressed.

Switched to wait.ForAll with the port alongside the log, following how activemq does it. The log line is still there because docker publishes the mapped port before uvicorn binds, so the port on its own can report ready while a connection would still be refused.

On the dependency advisories: bumped the indirect apache/thrift to v0.24.0, which clears both. arrow-go v18.4.0 pins v0.22.0, so it needs the explicit requirement in this module's go.mod.

I left moby/go-archive at v0.2.0. That one is not specific to this module, the root go.mod and every other module are on the same version, so bumping it only here would put this module out of step with the rest of the repo. Happy to do it if you would rather, but it looked like a repo-wide call rather than something for a new module PR.

Rebased onto main as well, the podman module touched the same generated lists. Tests still pass, 7 cases in 67s.
