docker-compose.yaml: no such file or directory

Open fregux opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

Description docker compose/docker-compose do not search in parent folder for docker-compose.yaml

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  • in base project, create a working docker-compose.yaml
  • create a folder (www for instance),
  • enter this folder (cd www)
  • run docker compose ps (for exemple) or docker compose exec container bash ...

Describe the results you received:
stat /home/toto/project/www/docker-compose.yaml: no such file or directory

Describe the results you expected:
use of the docker-compose.yaml in project folder

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally): Windows 10, WSL2, ubuntu bash
Docker Desktop 4.9.0 (80466)

Hi, thanks for filing an issue. Is this a feature request? It doesn't feel like a bug. Is there is some documentation that gave you the impression that compose would automatically look in an ancestor directory for a compose file?

nicksieger avatar Jun 15 '22 17:06 nicksieger

Hi, No it's not a feature request.

in previous version, when i was in a child folder, i was able to run docker compose command, and since I updated docker desktop, it doesn't work anymore.

fregux avatar Jun 16 '22 08:06 fregux

I found in https://github.com/docker/compose/blob/v2/docs/reference/compose.md?plain=1#L100

The -f flag is optional. If you don’t provide this flag on the command line, Compose traverses the working directory and its parent directories looking for a compose.yaml or docker-compose.yaml file.

fregux avatar Jun 16 '22 09:06 fregux

Compose is indeed supposed to traverse working directory upwards to search for a compose file. However, I'm having trouble replicating this on macOS, compose v2.6.0, at least.

@fregux The only way I can replicate this error is if I run the command while specifying the compose file, such as compose -f docker-compose.yaml ps, or if I have an env var COMPOSE_FILE set, in which case I get the same error. Can check the output of env to make sure no such env var is set, and that it's not being specified elsewhere?

laurazard avatar Jun 17 '22 13:06 laurazard

Hi @laurazard,

In both case, "-f" or "COMPOSE_FILE", work well. I don't think there is a env var that is set that can disturb (as it work as it before update) and even if I run env - docker compose ps it doesn't work neither

I confirm compose do search for config file in parent folders (https://github.com/compose-spec/compose-go/blob/master/cli/options.go#L136) Tried to reproduce your issue, but "works for me"

ndeloof avatar Dec 09 '22 09:12 ndeloof

Hi,

I just notice that i have a .env file that define COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yaml:docker-compose.override.yaml:docker-compose.dev.yaml

I didn't think that docker load .env file before running.

Sorry
