Description

Describe the bug

Creating an asyncio test case that uses the kafka container on completion of the test (the test itself is successful) the pytest environment segfaults.

To Reproduce

Provide a self-contained code snippet that illustrates the bug or unexpected behavior. Ideally, send a Pull Request to illustrate with a test that illustrates the problem.

import asyncio
import time
import sys
from confluent_kafka import Consumer
import pytest
from testcontainers.core.waiting_utils import wait_for_logs
from testcontainers.kafka import KafkaContainer

@pytest.fixture(scope="module")
def kafka_container():
    """Provide a temporary Redis container."""
    with KafkaContainer("mirror.gcr.io/confluentinc/cp-kafka:7.6.0") as container:
        wait_for_logs(container, "Awaiting socket connections on 0.0.0.0:9093")
        for topic in ["mytopic"]:
            container.exec(
                f"kafka-topics "
                f"--bootstrap-server localhost:9092 "
                f"--create "
                f"--topic {topic} "
                f"--partitions 3 "
                f"--replication-factor 1",
            )
        yield container

async def kafka_consumer(consumer, timeout=1.0):

    while True:
        msg  = await asyncio.to_thread(consumer.poll,  timeout=timeout)

        if msg is None:
            continue
        if msg.error():
            print("Consumer error: {}".format(msg.error()))
            continue

        print('Received message: {}'.format(msg.value().decode('utf-8')))

async def main(consumer):

    task = asyncio.create_task(kafka_consumer(consumer))

    await asyncio.sleep(10)
    print("Cancelling the task...")
    task.cancel()

    try:
        await task
    except asyncio.CancelledError:
        print("Task was cancelled")

@pytest.mark.asyncio(loop_scope="function")
async def test_sample(kafka_container):
    consumer = Consumer({
        'bootstrap.servers': kafka_container.get_bootstrap_server(),
        'group.id': 'mygroup',
        'auto.offset.reset': 'earliest',
        "debug":"all"})
    consumer.subscribe(['mytopic'])


    await main(consumer)
    consumer.close()
