Cannot normalize nothing on docker build

[dimensi0n]

When trying to build the docker image I get the following error at stage 24 :

cannot normalize nothing

The last line being the most important : cannot normalize nothing.

Steps to reproduce :

• Clone the repository
• Navigate into the onetimesecretfolder with cd onetimesecret
• Run the build with docker build -t onetimesecret .

Looks like it's related to the CODE_ROOT ARG. According to the docs, it shouldn't be available after FROM container b/c it's not declared again.

https://docs.docker.com/reference/dockerfile/#understand-how-arg-and-from-interact

I don't see this error locally and we're not getting it in the github action builds. That would indicate some versions of docker behave differently in this scenario.

@dimensi0n Can you:

1. Try adding ARG CODE_ROOT on the line right after FROM container and building again. If that works for you, I'll update the Dockerfile (if it doesn't I'll need to investigate further).
2. Share the output from running docker version.

Hi,
got the same issue here, calling Docker Build with ARG Code_Root (sudo docker build -t onetimesecret --build-arg CODE_ROOT .) does not make any difference.

Step 26/29 : WORKDIR $CODE_ROOT
cannot normalize nothing

Any Suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

@FredRa Can you try building from branch 328-cannot-normalize-nothing-on-docker-build.

$ git fetch
$ git checkout 328-cannot-normalize-nothing-on-docker-build
$ docker build -t onetimesecret .

It should be a simple fix. I just can't replicate it locally myself.

[FredRa]

Great, thanks a lot! All 30 steps are now completed
