Generated docker compose command fails

[ignapas]

Getting the following error when using the docker_services fixture

Exception: Command docker compose -f "/tmp/pytest-of-xxx/pytest-1/docker-compose.yml" -p "pytest155540" up --build -d returned 125: """unknown shorthand flag: 'f' in -f

Using docker 20.10.17, could this be the problem? Thanks

I resolved this by simply upgrading to docker-compose v2 on VM.

$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install docker-compose-plugin

TLDR

Try the dmg version of docker desktop if on MacOS

Following on from my above comment:

After running docker info from pytest-docker I noticed that the compose client plugin (along with all the others) was missing from the output.

On a whim I changed from my brew installed version of docker to the dmg version of docker desktop, cycled it from the user bin location in settings back to system wide and this issue was resolved.

I can't say for sure which step resolved it, and unfortunately it's a bit hard for me to go back and test. Additionally our pytest runs from pants within a nix setup, which likely was having some effect on the paths available to pytest-docker too.
