Compose project name is stripped of punctuation when using podman-compose

[uosis]

Currently, as of podman-compose 1.4.0, podman-compose allows punctuation in project name, and uses underscore for separating project name from image names. As a result, the following version checks are broken when using podman-compose:

• cli/src/spec-node/dockerCompose.ts

  Line 698 in c246645

  return !isEarlierVersion(version, [1, 21, 0]); // 1.21.0 changed allowed characters in project names (added hyphen and underscore).

• cli/src/spec-node/dockerCompose.ts

  Line 465 in c246645

  const separator = version && isEarlierVersion(version, [2, 8, 0]) ? '_' : '-';

This results in unreadable project names.

Workaround

Point devcontainers (either cli or through vscode) to the below wrapper script. This will fake the version to be just right - after punctuation support but before change to use hyphens for separators.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from sys import argv
from os import execvp

if argv[1:] == ['compose', 'version', '--short']:
  print('2.7.0')
else:
  execvp('podman', ['podman'] + argv[1:])
