docker compose up doesn't pick up docker-compose.dev.yml

[walshta]

Is this a docs issue?

Type of issue

Information is incorrect

Description

In the Use Compose to develop locally section, the instructions state to do the following:

1. Create a new file named docker-compose.dev.yml
2. Copy & paste the contents from the documentation into this new file
3. Run docker compose up --build

The docker compose up --build command uses the standard docker-compose.yml which doesn't target the development stage added to the Dockerfile in the previous section. Since nothing is targeting this stage it is skipped and never launched so there is nothing to attach the debugger to in the next section.

Suggestion

Either add the command to specify the docker compose file to use, or target the stage in the docker-compose.yml file and not create a new file.
