podman build with relative path to dockerfile in subdirectory fails with "no such file or directory" on Mac #12841

ConorSheehan1 · 2022-01-13T11:01:43Z

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind bug

Description

Running podman build with a relative path to a Dockerfile in a subdirectory fails.
docker build works fine in this case.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Create a Dockerfile in a subdirectory

cat > ./test/Dockerfile << EOF
FROM alpine
EOF

podman build -f ./test/Docker .

Describe the results you received:
Error: stat /var/tmp/libpod_builder389648463/build/test/test/Dockerfile: no such file or directory

Describe the results you expected:

successful build

podman build -f /tmp/Dockerfile .
STEP 1/1: FROM alpine
...

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):

Providing an absolute path works.
podman build -t test -f $PWD/test/Dockerfile .
Docker works fine with relative paths.
docker build -t test -f ./test/Dockerfile .

Here's a screenshot (with successful operations killed so it fits on one screen)

@cdoern Would you have time to knock this out quick?

cdoern · 2022-01-13T19:57:23Z

sure, I will take a look

podman build always finds the abs path but was never using it for the containerfile path. This was causing the remote client to be given a relative path that does not exist. Switch to evaluating and using absolute paths only. resolves containers#12841 Signed-off-by: cdoern <cdoern@redhat.com>

Hello,
Before opening a new issue, is it normal that we can't use a directory for a specific context ?
podman build -f /tmp/Dockerfile folder
instead of
podman build -f /tmp/Dockerfile .
?
Kind regards

rhatdan · 2022-02-04T18:37:17Z

No that should be allowed.

Hello @rhatdan,

With a simple dockerfile like that :

FROM golang:1.15-alpine AS builder
COPY root.crt /etc/ssl/certs/root.crt
RUN cat /etc/ssl/certs/root.crt >> /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
RUN apk --no-cache add ca-certificates \
  && update-ca-certificates

With the command :

podman build --platform="linux/amd64" -f Dockerfile dependencies
I want my root.crt to be in the dependencies folder (with many other files) but i got this error :

Error: stat /var/tmp/libpod_builder142412274/build/Users/XXXXXX/Dockerfile: no such file or directory

If it's not normal I can open a new issue.

Thanks in advance :)

rhatdan · 2022-02-04T20:46:01Z

What version of Podman? I think this is fixed in podman 4.0. This is remote podman (podman on a Mac).

rhatdan · 2022-02-04T20:46:54Z

Which you almost certainly do not have yet. RC3 was released today, but you need it on the server as well as the client.

Yup have to wait for next release.

akaci-a · 2022-02-04T21:14:32Z

Thanks :) Do you have any release date ?

rhatdan · 2022-02-04T22:19:43Z

Some time in the next few weeks.

This is the exact same problem that I have on my windows 11 Devkit ARM machine and I have the latest podman version 4.4.4 I can provide more info here or should I create a new ticket?
