FROM scratch is a special case and shouldn't cause an error

Open iggy opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

FROM scratch is a special case in docker. It doesn't have any tags and in the build tooling it's a special case to not use an underlying image layer. This tool shouldn't error on a FROM line with scratch.

@iggy thanks for the report. I’ve added an integration test and am not able to reproduce this. Are you able to provide a Dockerfile that has this error?

I'm using dockerfilelint as part of GitHub's super-linter. Here is a link to it failing as part of that:

The line it's referencing:

Thanks @iggy

I added PR #154 which does address and make these pass. I’ll get it reviewed in tomorrow and a new version released.
