Can't create a docker image for COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder error

Question

I want to create a docker image. This is my work directory: Dockerfile.in test.json test.py

And this is my Dockerfile:

COPY ./test.json /home/tes         


        

Answer 1

Here is the reason why it happens, i.e. your local directory in the host OS where you are running the docker should have the file, otherwise you get this error

One solution is to : use RUN cp instead of COPY

then run the command it works!
