Error Message and Stack Trace (if applicable)

ERROR: failed to solve: failed to compute cache key: failed to calculate checksum of ref hs3yoi3tayvt6spvwpv0p1c9c::wq6tygw2kum28g7cgho3uc954: "/my_agentrequirements.txt": not found

Description

I am trying to deploy LangGraph locally based on this tutorial https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/how-tos/deploy-self-hosted/. Executing "langgraph build -t my-image" gives me error as shown above. In Docker Desktop, I found image is trying to "ADD my_agentrequirements.txt". My project structure is like this: my-app/ ├── my_agent │ ├── utils │ │ ├── init.py │ │ ├── tools.py │ │ ├── nodes.py │ │ └── state.py │ ├── init.py │ └── agent.py ├── .env ├── requirements.txt └── langgraph.json you can clone a rep from here https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph-example.git. However, it needs movement of requirements.txt to root directory. I found a solution to it: just rename "requirements.txt" into "my_agentrequirements.txt" and it will successfully build an image.

Not able to reproduce , I cloned the repository and tried reproducing the issue but it works for me and I am able to build the image

[jalapenos8]

I tried once again with new cloned repo. here is error:

The image is trying to use "/my_agentrequirements.txt" instead of "/my_agent/requirements.txt".

@ps06756 were you trying to reproduce on windows?

[Yuhui0620]

same here when use langgraph dockerfile on windows.

I believe this specific issue is resolved, but we've added https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/issues/5029 to help avoid things like this in the future.

Going to close for now, feel free to ping me (or open a new issue) if this issue is still persisting.

[Yuhui0620]

still exists with langgraph-cli==0.3.3
