"COPY patches/ /var/www/patches/" failing during build

[danhgov]

Hi @sylus,

We are getting this in MFIN Data Catalogue when build.yml runs:

Dockerfile:102
--------------------
 100 |     # Create the directory if it doesn't exist in the build context.
 101 |     RUN mkdir -p patches
 102 | >>> COPY patches/ /var/www/patches/
 103 |     
 104 |     WORKDIR /var/www
--------------------
ERROR: failed to solve: failed to compute cache key: failed to calculate checksum of ref 55dec1ed-8bcd-44e7-9f80-b09552f46eab::vx23i1nfail6x0afwmmc7jpid: "/patches": not found
make: *** [docker/Makefile:17: base] Error 1
Error: Process completed with exit code 2.

It's really weird because, on a different project, I had just been having a build-problem related to the patches directory. But it turns out to be an unrelated issue. But I tried rebuilding a tag in MFIN DC that previously had built successfully, and it failed this time with the same error as above.

I see that you added this code last week. Any idea why it is failing?

Hi @danhgov I think to fix this all you will have to do is create a patches directory with a .gitkeep file in site repo.

Let me know if this works for you?
