Pass build arguments into docker build step when using a yaml file

[ossentoo]

Hi,

My application pulls private nuget packages from an Azure DevOps feed in the docker image build. We normally accomplish this in our Azure DevOps pipeline by passing a build argument to docker build.

I've setup a yaml file to run locally at the moment. This is failing during the dotnet restore step in the Dockerfile as expected, because it needs the credential to the private nuget feed.

Is there a way of passing this in? I'm running locally so, I don't mine passing the PAT in somehow.

I've tried this:

name: application
services:

• name: web
  dockerFile: ../application-web/src/Dockerfile --build-arg PAT=***

I get this output when running tye run with a tye.yaml file in the same directory:

[06:44:57 INF] Building docker image web from docker file
[06:44:57 INF] [web]:unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path: lstat /Users/blah/application-web/src/Dockerfile --build-arg PAT=***: no such file or directory

Yeah, today passing in dockerFile assumes that it is only a path to the docker file, and doesn't include args.

@davidfowl for docker run, do we allow passing in args as well? Is that through the args section in the yaml?

[ossentoo]

Ok.

Is there any work around for now? Can I call docker build for example for now?

[davidfowl]

I thought we had support for arguments being passed to build but there isn't we'll need to add it.

I'm going to work on some code for this issue. Will raise a PR and appreciate any feedback.
