SpringBoot spring-boot-testcontainers does not add org.testcontainers:testcontainers to the compile classpath of consumers

It's quite reasonable IMO.

It's not unreasonable indeed but what do you expect to be able to do with only the API on the classpath?

org.testcontainers:testcontainers contains everything you need to use GenericContainer so it's useful for anything for which Testcontainers doesn't have a specific module. The Redis support that we've got in spring-boot-test-support is one example.

It's weird that if I want to use GenericContainer I must add testcontainers even if spring-boot-testcontainers present.

Got it, sorry and thanks for the additional details.
