Relative paths mounts in volumes renders incorrectly

[maxhr]

Description Mounting a relative path - such as ./mounted-folder - renders as mounted-folder. Then when running docker-compose up I receive this error: invalid mount config for type "bind": invalid mount path: 'mounted-folder' mount path must be absolute. I would expect the source path to stay as is.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. My .dockerapp file

version: 0.1.0
name: test
---
version: "3.6"
services:
  hello:
    image: hashicorp/http-echo
    volumes:
    - ./mounted-folder:/mounted-folder

---
{}

2. Run docker app render

Describe the results you received:

version: "3.6"
services:
  hello:
    image: my-image
    volumes:
    - type: bind
      source: mounted-folder
      target: /mounted-folder

Describe the results you expected:

version: "3.6"
services:
  hello:
    image: my-image
    volumes:
    - type: bind
      source: ./mounted-folder
      target: /mounted-folder

Hello @maxhr Thank you for reporting this issue.

[koustubhg]

Is there any temporary workaround for this one?

[silvin-lubecki]

We are addressing this issue among others on render, with #602 . I think it should fix this particular issue. cc @aiordache

I was testing this issue with 0.9.0-zeta1.

Things has changed, but there are still things to clarify.

Having volume:

    volumes:
    - "./db_tisapi:/var/lib/postgresql/data"
    - "./db_tisapi_init:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d"

rendering results in:

    volumes:
    - type: bind
      source: /cnab/app/ttt.dockerapp/db_tisapi
      target: /var/lib/postgresql/data
    - type: bind
      source: /cnab/app/ttt.dockerapp/db_tisapi_init
      target: /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d

so it ignores current directory and assumes, that the relative folder is relative to folder /cnab/app.

This makes rendering of docker-compose.yml not usable for docker-compose command.

Possible solutions:

• skip: skip supporting docker app render for docker-compose using volumes bound to relative folder. Call this use case as out of scope for docker app.
• render-mode: Introduce option --render-mode with options docker-compose and app. docker-compose would respect relative folders, app would assume relative folders to be relative to /cnab/app. Default render-mode would be app.
• volumes-root: Introduce option --volumes-root defaulting to /cnab/app.

I would prefer the render-mode solution as it brings real value to docker-compose users allowing to parametrize the application as needed.
