Run-TestsInBcContainer on NextMajor containers results in a SSL connection error

[lbev7]

Describe the issue
Since November 2024, we've been encountering issues with running tests in containers based on NextMajor artifacts. Last successful run was on versions 26.0.25383.0/26.0.25330.0 (BC version/platform version). Currently, we're receiving CommunicationError: The SSL connection could not be established. App publishing and compilation runs fine (these steps are run prior to testing).
Please note that we haven't made any changes in our build scripts in the last year.

Have you tried this without traefik?

[lbev7]

Hi Freddy,
We tested the build with Traefik disabled, and everything seems to be working. However, could you provide more information on why this issue occurred in the first place? What has actually changed since versions 26.0.25383.0/26.0.25330.0?

Is the absence of Traefik in the builds of newer versions planned by design, or is it a temporary technical issue?

[freddydk]

Absence of Traefik??? - not sure what you are referring to.

I was just asking whether this was a traefik problem or it was caused by something else.
Typically traefik has worked just fine.
Have you tested traefik with earlier versions (24 or 25)?

[lbev7]

Seems to be issue with Traefik since NextMajor builds now work fine with Traefik disabled.

All builds prior to 26.0.25383.0/26.0.25330.0 were running with Traefik enabled and there were no issues.

[freddydk]

I disagree - Traefik hasn't changed - BC has changed.
It seems like something has changed in BC to make it no longer work behind traefik.
Can you login to the Web Client in a browser using Traefik and the latest NextMajor?

[lbev7]

I was able to log via Web Client with Traefik active (NextMajor Version: W1 26.0 - Platform 26.0.29477.0 + Application 26.0.29555.0).

Let me know if you need anything else.
