Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND with Docker in chai test

[Nikuu971]

Hello i have a issue with my project. I made a REST API project in express, i have dockerize all my project (the rest api in express, the database in mariadb and phpmyadmin) i try to test the endpoint of my rest api but i have this error. All the project work perfectly, my docker is up, my api is working, i have tested my posts, my gets, in postman and my browser it's work. But in my chai test i have a Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND mariadb (mariadb is the hostname).

my test.js

let chai=require("chai");
let chaiHttp = require("chai-http");
let server=require("../server");

//Assertion Style
chai.should();

chai.use(chaiHttp);

describe('Task API', ()=>{

    describe("GET / ", ()=>{
        it("it should Get hello world", (done)=>{
            chai.request(server)
            .get("/")
            .end((err,res)=>{
                res.should.have.status(200);
                res.text.should.be.a("string");
            done();
            })
        })
    })

    describe("GET /all", ()=>{
        it("it should Get all users", (done)=>{
            chai.request(server)
            .get("/user/all")
            .end((err,res)=>{
                res.should.have.status(200);
                res.body.should.be.a("array");
            done();
            })
        })
    })

my env and db.config

    const env = {

        password: 'qwerty',
        host: 'mariadb',
        dialect: 'mysql',
        pool: {
            max: 5,
            min: 0,
            acquire: 30000,
            idle: 10000
        }
    };

module.exports = env;

const env = require('./env.js');

const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const sequelize = new Sequelize(env.database, env.username, env.password, {
    host: env.host,
    dialect: env.dialect,
    operatorsAliases: false,

    pool: {
        max: env.pool.max,
        min: env.pool.min,
        acquire: env.pool.acquire,
        idle: env.pool.idle
    }
});

const db = {};

db.Sequelize = Sequelize;
db.sequelize = sequelize;

//Models/tables
db.users = require('../models/user.js')(sequelize, Sequelize);
db.verificationtoken = require('../models/vericationtoken.js')(sequelize, Sequelize);


module.exports = db;

When i try to run my test with my request url (localhost:8080) it don't work but it works with an external api (pokeapi) and i receive the data. I don't understand why chai don't seem to work with my localhost with the port 8080. And the Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND step in when the connection to the database is wrong because chai don't find the database. But my database is working and all the project work.
