Add Docker Compose file import via AddDockerComposeFile

This PR implements the feature from PR #11939 which adds the ability to import Docker Compose files into Aspire.

Summary

This PR adds the AddDockerComposeFile method that allows importing Docker Compose files into the Aspire application model. The implementation uses low-level YamlDotNet APIs to parse docker-compose.yml files and translates them into Aspire container resources.

Changes

New files:

  • DockerComposeFileResource.cs - Resource class representing a Docker Compose file
  • DockerComposeFileResourceBuilderExtensions.cs - Extension methods including AddDockerComposeFile() and GetComposeService()
  • DockerComposeParser.cs - Low-level YAML parser using YamlDotNet RepresentationModel API to handle all Docker Compose format variations
  • DockerComposeParserTests.cs - Comprehensive test suite with 49 tests validating parser behavior against Docker Compose spec

Modified files:

  • ContainerReferenceParser.cs - Changed from internal to public
  • README.md - Documentation for import feature

Tests:

  • DockerComposeFileTests.cs - 14 integration tests ✅ All passing
  • DockerComposeParserTests.cs - 49 unit tests covering spec details ✅ All passing
    • 11 dedicated tests for placeholder parsing covering all syntax variations

Implementation Approach

The implementation uses low-level YamlDotNet RepresentationModel APIs (YamlStream, YamlMappingNode) and returns structured data from parse methods to avoid re-parsing:

  • ✅ Parser returns structured ParsedPort objects with all fields (target, published, protocol, hostIp, name)
  • ✅ Parser returns ParsedEnvironmentVariable that can be either literal strings or structured placeholder information
  • ✅ Environment variable placeholders (${VAR}) are parsed into ParsedPlaceholder objects
  • ✅ Placeholders are represented as ParameterResource in the Aspire model using AddParameter()
  • ✅ Extension methods consume structured data directly without re-parsing strings
  • ✅ Cleanly handles all Docker Compose format variations in one place

Environment Variable Placeholder Support

Docker Compose environment variables can contain placeholders like ${VAR}, ${VAR:-default}, etc. These are now properly parsed into structured ParsedPlaceholder objects and converted to Aspire ParameterResource:

environment:
  DATABASE_URL: postgres://${DB_USER:-admin}:${DB_PASS}@${DB_HOST:-localhost}:${DB_PORT:-5432}/${DB_NAME}

This is parsed into a ParsedEnvironmentVariable with:

  • Format: "postgres://{0}:{1}@{2}:{3}/{4}"
  • Placeholders[0]: { Name: "DB_USER", DefaultValue: "admin", DefaultType: ColonMinus }
  • Placeholders[1]: { Name: "DB_PASS", DefaultValue: null, DefaultType: None }
  • Placeholders[2]: { Name: "DB_HOST", DefaultValue: "localhost", DefaultType: ColonMinus }
  • Placeholders[3]: { Name: "DB_PORT", DefaultValue: "5432", DefaultType: ColonMinus }
  • Placeholders[4]: { Name: "DB_NAME", DefaultValue: null, DefaultType: None }

The extension method:

  1. Collects all unique placeholders across all services
  2. Creates a ParameterResource for each using builder.AddParameter(name, defaultValue) or builder.AddParameter(name)
  3. Creates ReferenceExpression objects that reference these parameters
  4. Sets environment variables using WithEnvironment(name, ReferenceExpression)

Supported placeholder syntaxes:

  • ${VAR} - simple substitution
  • ${VAR:-default} - use default if VAR is unset or empty
  • ${VAR-default} - use default if VAR is unset
  • ${VAR:?error} - required with custom error message
  • ${VAR?error} - required variable
  • $${VAR} - escaped, treated as literal ${VAR}

Test Coverage

DockerComposeParserTests (49 tests)

Comprehensive unit tests validating Docker Compose specification parsing:

  • Environment variables: Dictionary {KEY: val} and array ["KEY=val"] formats
  • Environment placeholders: 11 dedicated tests covering all placeholder syntaxes and edge cases:
    • Simple placeholders ${VAR}
    • Default value syntaxes ${VAR:-default}, ${VAR-default}
    • Required syntaxes ${VAR:?error}, ${VAR?}
    • Escaped placeholders $${VAR}${VAR} literal
    • Empty placeholders ${} treated as literal
    • Multiple placeholders in one value
    • Mixed literal and placeholder text
    • Malformed placeholders
    • Unique placeholder tracking across services
  • Port mappings: Short syntax "8080:80", long syntax with all options including port names
  • Volumes: Short/long syntax, bind mounts, named volumes, anonymous volumes, read-only
  • Build: Short (context path) and long syntax with args (dictionary and array)
  • Command/Entrypoint: String and array formats
  • Dependencies: Simple arrays and conditions (service_started, service_healthy, service_completed_successfully)
  • Multiple services and case insensitivity

DockerComposeFileTests (14 tests)

Integration tests validating end-to-end service import scenarios

Usage

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Import all services from compose file
var compose = builder.AddDockerComposeFile("myservices", "./docker-compose.yml");

// Access specific service for additional configuration
var web = compose.GetComposeService("web");
web.WithEnvironment("CUSTOM_VAR", "value");

Supported Features

  • Images & builds: Both image: and build: configurations (context, dockerfile, target, args)
  • Environment: Both array format ["KEY=val"] and dictionary format {KEY: val}
  • Environment placeholders: Parses ${VAR} placeholders and creates ParameterResource with default values
  • Placeholder parameters: Creates unique parameters for all placeholders across all services using AddParameter()
  • Ports: Both short syntax "8080:80" and long syntax {target: 80, published: 8080, protocol: tcp, name: web}
  • Port names: Custom endpoint names from long syntax name field (falls back to port{number} when not specified)
  • Volumes: Both short syntax "./src:/app:ro" and long syntax {type: bind, source: ./src, target: /app, read_only: true}
  • Anonymous volumes: Volumes with just target path "/app/node_modules"
  • Dependencies: Both simple array ["service1"] and long format {service1: {condition: service_healthy}}
  • Command & Entrypoint: Both string and array formats
  • Dependency conditions: service_started, service_healthy, service_completed_successfully

- Add using System.Globalization for culture-invariant parsing
- Add EnvironmentVariablesTypeConverter to handle both array and dictionary formats
- Add PortMappingsTypeConverter to handle both short and long port syntax
- Note: Long syntax ports and complex examples have limitations due to YamlDotNet constraints

The PortMappingsTypeConverter applies to all List<string> properties globally, which interferes with Command, Entrypoint, and other list properties. Need a more targeted approach or property-specific handling.

@copilot OK great, lets undo the changes to ComposeFile. We want update DockerComposeParser to parse the yaml file using lower level Yamldotnet APIs. That will let us handle the various formats cleanly without trying to use the high level serializer and converters.

…files

- Reverted changes to ComposeFile.cs (removed FromYaml method)
- Removed custom type converters (EnvironmentVariablesTypeConverter, PortMappingsTypeConverter)
- Updated DockerComposeParser to use YamlDotNet's RepresentationModel for low-level parsing
- Added ParseComposeFile method that handles all format variations cleanly:
  * Environment: both array ["KEY=val"] and dictionary {KEY: val} formats
  * Ports: both short "8080:80" and long {target: 80, published: 8080} syntax
  * Volumes: both short "./src:/app" and long {type: bind, source: ./src} syntax
  * Dependencies: both simple array and complex {condition: service_healthy} formats
- Fixed anonymous volume support (volumes with just target path)
- Fixed TCP protocol conversion (omit /tcp suffix so it defaults to http scheme)
- All 14 tests now passing (previously 12/14)

This approach is cleaner as it doesn't require global type converters that affect all properties, and handles format normalization in one place.

Done! I've refactored the implementation to use low-level YamlDotNet RepresentationModel APIs in DockerComposeParser.ParseComposeFile().

Changes in commit 378be3a:

  • ✅ Reverted ComposeFile.cs to original state (removed FromYaml())
  • ✅ Removed custom type converters (EnvironmentVariablesTypeConverter, PortMappingsTypeConverter)
  • ✅ Implemented ParseComposeFile() using YamlDotNet's YamlStream and YamlMappingNode APIs
  • ✅ Now cleanly handles all format variations (array/dict for environment, short/long for ports and volumes)
  • ✅ All 14 tests passing (was 12/14 before)

The new approach is much cleaner - no global type converters affecting other properties, and all format normalization happens in one place.

@copilot Excellent! Let's get a test suite for DockerComposeParser called DockerComposeParserTests and use it to verify the parsing and various spec details. This is the compose spec, we don't need to support all of it, but mention the details from the spec that matters when parsing:

@compose-spec/compose-spec/files/spec.md

- Created DockerComposeParserTests.cs with 30 tests covering:
  * Environment variables (dictionary and array formats)
  * Port mappings (short and long syntax, with/without protocol, host IP)
  * Volumes (short and long syntax, bind mounts, named volumes, anonymous volumes)
  * Build configuration (short and long syntax, with args)
  * Command and entrypoint (string and array formats)
  * Dependencies (simple array and conditions)
  * Multiple services
  * Service name case insensitivity

- Implemented port name support per Docker Compose spec:
  * Added ParsedPort class with PortMapping and optional Name properties
  * Updated ParsePortsFromYaml to extract 'name' field from long syntax
  * Updated extension method to use port name as endpoint name when available
  * Falls back to generated name (port{number}) when name not specified

All 44 tests passing (30 DockerComposeParserTests + 14 DockerComposeFileTests)

  • ✅ Command/Entrypoint (string & array)
  • ✅ Dependencies (simple array & conditions: service_started, service_healthy, service_completed_successfully)
  • ✅ Multiple services & case insensitivity

Port name support (per new requirement):

  • Implemented ParsedPort class with optional Name property
  • Extracts name field from long syntax ports
  • Uses port name as endpoint name when available, falls back to port{number}

All 44 tests passing (30 parser tests + 14 integration tests)

@copilot I see unused methods in DockerComposeParser, remove them.

Removed public methods that were not being used:
- ParseEnvironment(object? environment)
- ParsePorts(object? ports)
- ParseVolumes(object? volumes)
- ParseDependsOn(object? dependsOn)

Removed private helper methods:
- ParseShortPortSyntax(string portSpec)
- ParseLongPortSyntax(IDictionary portSpec)
- ParseLongVolumeSyntax(IDictionary volumeSpec)

Removed unused record types:
- PortMapping record
- ServiceDependency record

Kept ParseShortVolumeSyntax as it's used by ParseVolumesFromYaml.

Also removed unused using directives (System.Collections, System.Globalization).

All 44 tests still passing (30 DockerComposeParserTests + 14 DockerComposeFileTests)

@copilot The parse methods in the DockerComposeParser should return an object with the most structure to save the callers from re-parsing the format. For example ParsePortsFromYaml should return a structure with the long syntax variation of data:
int? target = null;
int? published = null;
string? protocol = null;
string? hostIp = null;
string? name = null;

Do that for all sections and simplify the logic to translate to aspire resources.

Changed ParsePortsFromYaml to return structured ParsedPort objects with all fields instead of converting to short syntax strings that need re-parsing:

**ParsedPort now includes:**
- Target (int?): container port
- Published (int?): host port
- Protocol (string?): tcp/udp, null if not specified
- HostIp (string?): bind IP address
- Name (string?): custom port name from long syntax
- IsShortSyntax (bool): tracks syntax format for scheme determination

**Benefits:**
- Eliminates TryParsePortMapping re-parsing in extension method
- Preserves all port information from both short and long syntax
- Cleaner separation: parser returns structured data, extension consumes it
- Better scheme determination: short syntax /tcp → "tcp", long syntax tcp → "http"

**Scheme mapping logic:**
- UDP → "udp"
- TCP in short syntax (/tcp) → "tcp" (raw TCP)
- TCP in long syntax (protocol: tcp) → "http" (HTTP over TCP)
- No protocol → "http" (default web scenario)

All 44 tests passing (30 parser + 14 integration tests)

Done! Refactored parser to return structured data in commit 3375e0a:

ParsedPort now returns full structure:

  • Target (int?): container port
  • Published (int?): host port
  • Protocol (string?): tcp/udp, null if not specified
  • HostIp (string?): bind IP
  • Name (string?): custom name from long syntax
  • IsShortSyntax (bool): syntax format tracker

Benefits:

  • Eliminated TryParsePortMapping - no more re-parsing strings
  • Extension method directly consumes structured data
  • All port information preserved from both syntaxes
  • Cleaner separation: parser extracts, extension consumes

All 44 tests passing.

@copilot We want to add support for parsing env variable placeholders so we don't attempt to set them as values

Docker Compose environment variables can contain placeholders like ${VAR}, ${VAR:-default}, etc. that are meant to be substituted at runtime. Since Aspire doesn't support this substitution mechanism, we now detect and skip these variables instead of setting them as literal values.

**Implementation:**
- Added ContainsPlaceholder() method to detect ${...} patterns
- Handles escaped placeholders ($${VAR}) as literals
- Skips any environment variable with unescaped placeholders
- Works with both dictionary and array environment formats

**Placeholder patterns detected:**
- ${VAR} - simple substitution
- ${VAR:-default} - with default value
- ${VAR-default} - alternative default syntax
- ${VAR:?error} - required with error
- ${VAR?error} - alternative required syntax

**Tests added:**
- ParseEnvironment_WithPlaceholders_SkipsPlaceholders
- ParseEnvironment_WithEscapedPlaceholders_IncludesLiteralValues
- ParseEnvironment_DictionaryWithPlaceholders_SkipsPlaceholders
- ParseEnvironment_WithPartialPlaceholders_SkipsEntirely

All 48 tests passing (34 parser + 14 integration)

@copilot Nice! I don't want to skip them, but I want them to be represented as a FormattableString.

For the place holders expose a Dictionary of unique ParsedPlaceHolder which should have the name of the place holder and if there are any default values.

That means we need a proper env variable placeholder parser which will handle parsing an entire string and returning a FormattableString with ParsedPlaceHolder references.

Implemented! Environment variable placeholders are now parsed into structured format and converted to ReferenceExpression objects.

Changes in commits bda24f5:

New types:

  • ParsedPlaceholder: Represents ${VAR} with name and optional default value
  • PlaceholderDefaultType: Enum for :- vs - default syntax
  • ParsedEnvironmentVariable: Either literal string or ReferenceExpression with placeholders
  • ParameterDefault: IValueProvider for placeholder default values

Parser implementation:

  • ParseEnvironmentValue() parses strings with ${VAR} placeholders
  • Supports all Docker Compose syntaxes: ${VAR}, ${VAR:-default}, ${VAR-default}, ${VAR:?error}, ${VAR?error}
  • Handles escaped $${VAR} as literal ${VAR}
  • Handles mixed literal/placeholder strings like http://${HOST}:8080/api

Extension method:

  • Uses WithEnvironment(name, ReferenceExpression) for placeholder values
  • Uses WithEnvironment(name, string) for literal values
  • ReferenceExpressionBuilder constructs expressions with placeholder value providers

Placeholder tracking:

  • ParsedService.Placeholders dictionary contains all unique placeholders from environment variables
  • Each placeholder includes name, default value (if specified), and default type

All 98 tests passing (34 parser + 64 integration)

…renceExpression

Instead of skipping environment variables with Docker Compose placeholders (${VAR}),
we now parse them into structured format and convert to ReferenceExpression objects.

**New types:**
- ParsedPlaceholder: Represents a ${VAR} placeholder with name and optional default value
- PlaceholderDefaultType: Enum distinguishing :- (use if unset/empty) vs - (use if unset) syntax
- ParsedEnvironmentVariable: Either a literal string value or a ReferenceExpression with placeholders
- ParameterDefault: IValueProvider implementation for placeholder default values

**Implementation:**
- Added ParseEnvironmentValue() to parse strings containing ${VAR} placeholders
- Supports all Docker Compose placeholder syntaxes:
  * ${VAR} - simple substitution
  * ${VAR:-default} - with default value (use default if VAR unset/empty)
  * ${VAR-default} - with default (use default if VAR unset)
  * ${VAR:?error} - required with error message
  * ${VAR?error} - required
- Handles escaped placeholders ($${VAR}) as literal ${VAR} strings
- ParseEnvironmentFromYaml returns Dictionary<string, ParsedEnvironmentVariable>
- Extension method uses WithEnvironment(name, ReferenceExpression) for placeholder values
- Placeholders dictionary in ParsedService tracks all unique placeholders across environment variables

**Tests updated:**
- All placeholder tests now verify ReferenceExpression creation instead of skipping
- Tests verify placeholder extraction with names and defaults
- Tests verify literal vs expression handling
- Tests verify escaped placeholder handling

All 98 tests passing (34 parser + 64 integration tests)

@copilot ParsePlaceholder should have a suite of tests specifically for parsing placeholder expressions.

We should represent Placeholders in the aspire model as parameters (AddParameter).

Done! Implemented comprehensive placeholder parsing tests and updated the implementation to use AddParameter for placeholders.

Changes in commit (pending):

Comprehensive placeholder parsing tests (11 new tests):

  • ParsePlaceholder_SimpleSyntax_ParsesCorrectly - Tests simple ${VAR} placeholders
  • ParsePlaceholder_ColonMinusSyntax_ParsesDefaultValue - Tests ${VAR:-default} syntax
  • ParsePlaceholder_MinusSyntax_ParsesDefaultValue - Tests ${VAR-default} syntax
  • ParsePlaceholder_RequiredSyntax_ParsesAsNoDefault - Tests ${VAR:?error} and ${VAR?} syntax
  • ParsePlaceholder_EscapedDollarSign_TreatsAsLiteral - Tests $${VAR}${VAR} literal conversion
  • ParsePlaceholder_MultiplePlaceholdersInValue_ParsesAll - Complex connection string scenarios
  • ParsePlaceholder_MixedLiteralAndPlaceholder_PreservesLiterals - Mixed literal/placeholder strings
  • ParsePlaceholder_MalformedPlaceholder_TreatsAsLiteral - Error handling
  • ParsePlaceholder_EmptyPlaceholder_TreatsAsLiteral - Empty ${} handling
  • ParsePlaceholder_UniquePlaceholdersAcrossMultipleEnvVars_TracksAll - Deduplication across services

Parameter-based implementation:

  • Placeholders now represented as ParameterResource instances created via AddParameter
  • Collects all unique placeholders across all services before creating parameters
  • Parameters with defaults use AddParameter(name, defaultValue)
  • Parameters without defaults use AddParameter(name) (requires user input or config)
  • Environment variables with placeholders reference the parameter resources
  • Removed custom ParameterDefault value provider in favor of actual parameters

All 119 tests passing (49 parser tests + 14 integration tests + others)

…placeholders

Added 11 new comprehensive tests for Docker Compose placeholder parsing covering all syntax variations:
- Simple placeholders: ${VAR}
- Default value syntaxes: ${VAR:-default} (use if unset/empty), ${VAR-default} (use if unset)
- Required syntaxes: ${VAR:?error}, ${VAR?}
- Escaped placeholders: $${VAR} → ${VAR} literal
- Empty placeholders: ${} treated as literal
- Multiple placeholders in one value
- Mixed literal and placeholder text
- Malformed placeholders
- Unique placeholder tracking across services

Updated implementation to use AddParameter instead of custom ParameterDefault value provider:
- Collects all unique placeholders across all services
- Creates ParameterResource for each placeholder using builder.AddParameter()
- Parameters with defaults use AddParameter(name, defaultValue)
- Parameters without defaults use AddParameter(name) requiring user input/config
- Environment variables with placeholders reference the actual parameter resources
- Cleaner integration with Aspire's parameter system

Fixed empty placeholder handling:
- Empty ${} now treated as literal text instead of creating invalid placeholder

All 119 tests passing (49 DockerComposeParserTests + 14 DockerComposeFileTests + others)
