[armenak-baburyan]

Description

After scaling up the service, deleting the old container, and scaling down, an error occurs when attempting docker compose exec: service "myservice" is not running container #1. This error should not occur.

Steps To Reproduce

1. docker-compose.yml

version: '3.8'

services:
  myservice:
    image: alpine:latest
    command: tail -F anything

If you guys still encountering this issue, try to use the service name instead of the name itself.

docker-compose -f docker-compose-v2.yml exec broker bash
