What does this PR do?

Adds a new Testcontainers.DuckDb module for DuckDB, following the existing module pattern (builder / configuration / container, tests, docs).

Since DuckDB is an embedded database and the official duckdb/duckdb image is a distroless image shipping only the CLI binary (no shell), the module keeps the container alive by running an in-memory DuckDB CLI process with an open stdin (-cmd "SELECT 1;" + OpenStdin). ExecScriptAsync(string) copies the script into the container and executes it with a fresh CLI process against the configured database file (default /database.duckdb). The in-memory keep-alive process holds no file lock, so script executions can open the database file freely and state persists across executions (covered by a test). GetDatabaseFilePath() allows copying the database file to the test host via ReadFileAsync.

Why is it important?

DuckDB is increasingly used for analytical workloads; downstream projects (e.g. FluentMigrator, per the issue) would like native Testcontainers infrastructure for their integration tests instead of ad-hoc image setups.

Adds a DuckDB Testcontainers module with configurable database paths, serialized SQL script execution, persistent state, integration tests, project wiring, and documentation.

Changes

DuckDB module

Layer / File(s) Summary
DuckDB container API
src/Testcontainers.DuckDb/..., Testcontainers.slnx
Adds DuckDbConfiguration, DuckDbBuilder, and DuckDbContainer. The builder configures the DuckDB CLI, database path, stdin, and readiness strategy. The container serializes script execution and writes scripts as UTF-8.
Integration test coverage
tests/Testcontainers.DuckDb.Tests/..., Testcontainers.slnx
Adds the test project, pinned Docker image, shared fixture, lifecycle example, and tests for execution, persistence, concurrent writes, non-ASCII scripts, and database path retrieval.
Module documentation
docs/modules/duckdb.md, mkdocs.yml
Documents package installation, container lifecycle, SQL execution, database file configuration, and test execution. Adds the page to navigation.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 50291

The DuckDB module adds persistent, serialized script execution, but its concurrency test can accept an incorrect row count because it uses substring matching. This is a low merge-readiness risk limited to test coverage.

Comment thread src/Testcontainers.DuckDb/DuckDbContainer.cs Outdated
DuckDB does not support concurrent write access to the same database file
from multiple processes; an instance-scoped semaphore now serializes
ExecScriptAsync executions. Script content is copied as UTF-8 instead of
Encoding.Default, which is the ANSI code page on .NET Framework consumers.
Adds concurrent-execution and non-ASCII round-trip tests.

Addressed the review feedback in 5029151: ExecScriptAsync executions are now serialized with an instance-scoped SemaphoreSlim (DuckDB does not support concurrent multi-process write access to the same database file), script content is copied as UTF-8 instead of Encoding.Default (which is the ANSI code page on .NET Framework consumers), and I added a concurrent-execution test plus a non-ASCII round-trip test. All 6 tests pass locally.

Regarding the CodeRabbit slop flag (redundant_comments): the repeated comments it detects — e.g. the 'Passes the configuration upwards to the base implementations to create an updated immutable copy.' lines in DuckDbConfiguration and the Given/When/Then markers in the tests — are intentionally copied from the repository's existing module template (the same lines appear in ClickHouseConfiguration, KurrentDbConfiguration, etc.) to keep the new module consistent with the established pattern. For transparency: I developed this module with AI assistance, as the commit trailers note. I reviewed the design and code myself and validated the behavior against the real duckdb/duckdb image locally (all tests pass, including the concurrency and UTF-8 cases). Happy to adjust or remove any comments the maintainers consider noise.

Assert the row count exactly.

Assert.Contains("5", countResult.Stdout) also passes for counts such as 15 or 50. Return a Boolean comparison from SQL, such as SELECT count(*) = 5, and assert the result is true.
