it seems that your docker is not picking up on the new syntax features, can you try with

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker compose --profile auto up --build  

?

[AbdBarho]

why does it take 15 seconds to resolve the config?

 => resolve image config for docker.io/docker/dockerfile:1              15.2s

are you running offline? using a proxy? docker is probably unable to resolve the config, which is the reason why it does not work?

can you try to pull the syntax image first?

docker pull docker/dockerfile:latest

mine looks like this:

$ docker pull docker/dockerfile:latest
latest: Pulling from docker/dockerfile
1328b32c40fc: Already exists

[s524797336]

It is a Docker+wsl bug related to this issue https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/11261

[s524797336]

Try edit file (~/.docker/config.json) to {"_credsStore":"desktop.exe"}

I am not quite sure why this is happening, but this problem is solved for me, as a temporary solution, with the following changes: 1. navigate to /services/[auto/hlky] folder 2. open Dockerfile with your text editor 3. navigate to every RUN command that break to several lines, e.g.

RUN <<EOF 
cat <<'EOE' > /clone.sh 
mkdir -p repositories/"$1" xxxxx <code ommited>
EOE 
EOF

4. add \ to the end of each of these lines, that is

RUN <<EOF  \
cat <<'EOE' > /clone.sh \
mkdir -p repositories/"$1" xxxxx <code ommited> \
EOE \
EOF

Regarding to this post, the Dockerfile uses BuildKit to build multi-line command and should include a shebang # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.3-labs as the very first line and then build with the environment variable DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1

@dhlsam my plugins are as follows:

Client:
 Context:    default
 Debug Mode: false
 Plugins:
  app: Docker App (Docker Inc., v0.9.1-beta3)
  buildx: Docker Buildx (Docker Inc., v0.9.1-docker)
  compose: Docker Compose (Docker Inc., v2.14.1)
  scan: Docker Scan (Docker Inc., v0.23.0)

buildx is missing in your setup.

I am running unriad with docker compose, I try to edit docker file # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.3-labs, works with DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker compose --profile auto up --build

@dhlsam can you try to restore the original syntax, but run this command before you build:

docker pull docker/dockerfile:latest

?

Regarding to this post, the Dockerfile uses BuildKit to build multi-line command and should include a shebang # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.3-labs as the very first line and then build with the environment variable DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1

Changing the shebang from # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1 to # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.3-labs works for me. Thanks!
