Deprecated docker-compose Command Used

[hsrvms]

Description:
When running the command xx run, the script tries to use the deprecated docker-compose command. This causes issues on systems where only Docker Compose V2 is installed, as the newer version uses the docker compose syntax (with a space) instead of docker-compose (with a hyphen).

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install Docker with the Docker Compose V2 plugin (docker-compose-plugin).
2. Run the xx run command.
3. Observe the error indicating that docker-compose is not found.

Expected Behavior:
The script should use the docker compose syntax, which is the standard for Docker Compose V2.

Actual Behavior:
The script calls the docker-compose command, which is no longer available in systems using Docker Compose V2.

Suggested Solution:

1. Update the code to replace docker-compose with docker compose to ensure compatibility with Docker Compose V2.
2. Optionally, provide a fallback mechanism or documentation for users who might still use the older standalone docker-compose.

Workaround:
Users can create a symbolic link to map the docker-compose command to the Docker Compose V2 binary:
sudo ln -s /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
However, this is not recommended as it’s a temporary fix and relies on user intervention.

Environment:

• Docker Version: 27.4.1
• Docker Compose Version: v2.32.1
• OS: Ubuntu 22.04
• xest.js CLI Version: 0.0.0-alpha.23

Additional Context:
Docker Compose V1 has been deprecated in favor of V2, and docker-compose is no longer installed by default. Updating the script to use docker compose ensures better compatibility and avoids reliance on deprecated commands.

Good find. What's the implication on Mac OS systems? I believe docker-compose comes as per default there.

On macOS, Docker Desktop includes Docker Compose V2 by default since version 3.4.0 (May 2021), so most users should have access to docker compose. However, users with older Docker Desktop versions might still have the legacy docker-compose command.

Please write docker compose version to terminal and see which version do you have currently and try to run a compose file using docker compose -f <file_name> up to see if you have a updated version of docker-compose-plugin

If some users are still on older Docker Compose versions, we might need a fallback plan for them.
