how to set docker build-arg? edit .run .xml?

[kincjf]

Use case

• How do I configure docker build-arg ?
• How do I edit the .run/*.xml value for cloud run? I wish there was documentation. Since there is no data, we are making predictions and making corrections, but it is very difficult.

hi @kincjf, Currently these are the following options to configure docker. The --target, as well as environment variables. We will take the feature request to add --build-arg too.

How do I edit the .run/*.xml value for cloud run? I wish there was documentation. Since there is no data, we are making predictions and making corrections, but it is very difficult.

Currently you cannot with the tooling as it is not exposed. Would you mind describing the use-case so we can consider how best to support this? Thanks.

Hi - I have a similar request, in that I need to supply an argument to docker run (to create a bind mount to be used in combination with nodemon to allow faster iterative development of a node.js app, without needing to rebuild the container).

IDEA's Docker:Dockerfile run configuration has this option, but Cloud Run:Run Locally doesn't, and I don't understand enough of what the Cloud Run config does under the hood to create a custom run config that mimics its other behaviour.

This post is a year old - is the feature still intended to be added? (Or is there some other way to achieve this?)

Being able to specify build args would be handy to allow building a variant of the docker image with debug tools baked in, for example optionally using the -debug variants of the distroless base image
