No such file or directory when accessing secret files in Docker build

[ianmartorell]

I tried copying a secret file during a Docker build as explained in the docs, but the build failed with the following error:

cp: cannot stat "/etc/secrets/google_credentials.json': No such file or directory

This is a simplified version of my Dockerfile:

# syntax = docker/dockerfile:1.2
FROM node:16 as build
WORKDIR /app

COPY .yarn .yarn/
COPY package.json yarn.lock .yarnrc.yml ./
COPY backend/package.json backend/

RUN yarn workspaces focus backend

COPY backend backend/
RUN --mount=type=secret,id=google_credentials.json,dst=/etc/secrets/google_credentials.json cp /etc/secrets/google_credentials.json backend/

RUN yarn be build

EXPOSE 3000
CMD yarn be dist

And here’s a screenshot from the build logs:

It builds just fine on my local machine when running docker buildx build --secret id=google_credentials.json,src=backend/google_credentials.json .

HI Ian,

Thanks for reaching out.

That all looks correct, the only small issue I see is the ID shouldn’t have a ., as noted on the docs.

If your filename contains non-alphanumeric characters, replace them with _ for the id= part.

That doesn’t feel like it would cause that particular error, but it may be something to rule out first?

Kind regards

Alan
