Docker-compose MySQL scripts in docker-entrypoint-initdb are not executed

 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38504257/mysql-scripts-in-docker-entrypoint-initdb-are-not-executed

 It turns out that the script checks for $DATADIR/mysql, typical /var/lib/mysql and skips the rest of the code if the datadir exists, incl. docker-entrypoint-initdb.d

So what I did was make a simple init.sh file to remove the datadir then start docker.

docker-compose.yml:

volumes:
  - ./docker/mysql/scripts:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
  - ./mysql_data:/var/lib/mysql

init.sh:

#!/bin/bash
rm -rf mysql_data
docker-compose up --force-recreate

And of course add -d to docker-compose once I see it works as expected.
