Docker version

What happened?

In my docker desktop I execute this command successfully:

LDB_MODULES_PATH=/usr/lib/samba/ldb/ ldbmodify -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb /tmp/test.ldif 
Modified 0 records successfully

I want to do the same in testcontainers:

SAMBA_IMAGE = "instantlinux/samba-dc:4.18.5-r0"
val sambaContainer = GenericContainer(SAMBA_IMAGE)
....
sambaContainer.execInContainer(
            "LDB_MODULES_PATH=/usr/lib/samba/ldb/",
            "ldbmodify",
            "-H",
           "/var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb",
            "/tmp/test.ldif",
        )

But I get the error:

OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: "LDB_MODULES_PATH=/usr/lib/samba/ldb/": stat LDB_MODULES_PATH=/usr/lib/samba/ldb/: no such file or directory: unknown

I've found the workaround:

val sambaContainer = GenericContainer(SAMBA_IMAGE)
                     ...
                    .withEnv("LDB_MODULES_PATH","/usr/lib/samba/ldb/")
sambaContainer.start()
sambaContainer.execInContainer(
                "ldbmodify",
                "-H",
               "/var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb",
                "/tmp/test.ldif",
            )

But I still think that my initial attempt should work.

Relevant log output

I think you may need something like execInContainer("sh", "-c", "the whole command")
