I have a multistage Dockerfile which copies some parts from the first image to the second one, which always fails with this line

COPY --from=react-builder /app/build /var/www

with this error

Step 17/22 : COPY --from=react-builder /app/build /var/www
COPY failed: stat /mnt/data/docker/overlay2/901e2feb2323e7fc6d9de0f3e64e84d16d1e935e198bf19f15021af0eb6134d6/merged/app/build: no such file or directory

Here is the Dockerfile

FROM node:10-slim AS react-builder

ARG REACT_APP_ENV
ENV REACT_APP_ENV $REACT_APP_ENV

WORKDIR app
COPY . .

RUN cat /app/.env | grep = | sort | sed -e 's|REACT_APP_([a-zA-Z_]*)=(.*)|REACT_APP_1=NGINX_REPLACE_1|' > /app/.env.local

RUN npm config set registry=https://npm.company.com 
RUN npm config set "strict-ssl" false
RUN npm install

RUN npm build

FROM nginx:1.15

COPY nginx.conf.template /etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf.template
COPY gcp-deploy/htpasswd /etc/nginx/htpasswd

COPY --from=react-builder /app/.env.local /etc/nginx/conf.d/

RUN NGINX_SUB_FILTER=$(cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/.env.local | grep '=' | sort | sed -e 's/REACT_APP_([a-zA-Z_]*)=(.*)/sub_filter "NGINX_REPLACE_1" "${1}";/') && cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf.template | sed -e "s|LOCATION_SUB_FILTER|$(echo $NGINX_SUB_FILTER)|" | sed -u 's|}"; |}";ntt|g' > /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf.template

COPY --from=react-builder /app/build /var/www

# This is a hack around the envsubst nginx config. Because we have `$uri` set
# up, it would replace this as well. Now we just reset it to its original value.
ENV uri $uri

# Default config
ENV REST_URI " https://whatever.wherever.com/"
ENV PORT 80
ENV SERVER_NAME _

CMD ["sh", "-c", "envsubst < /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf.template > /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf && nginx -g 'daemon off;'"]

Expected behavior

Running docker build . simply builds the image without issues

Actual behavior

Build always fails with the same COPY --from statement. There is a second COPY --from command which always passes. If i switch the order I still get the same error:

Step 17/22 : COPY --from=react-builder /app/build /var/www
COPY failed: stat /mnt/data/docker/overlay2/901e2feb2323e7fc6d9de0f3e64e84d16d1e935e198bf19f15021af0eb6134d6/merged/app/build: no such file or directory

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    Apparently when running RUN npm build it does not happen what's expected - no compilation? - and thus there is no /app/build directory. However if running RUN npm run-script build the compilation works fine

    Step 10/24 : RUN npm run-script build
     ---> Running in b61a1d5020d9
    
    > [email protected] build /app
    > react-scripts build
    
    Creating an optimized production build...
    Compiled successfully.
    

    Therefore also COPY --from=react-builder /app/build /var/www works fine.


  2. The error is clear that the path /app/build does not exist in the react-builder layer.

    What you can do to fix the problem is updating WORKDIR app to WORKDIR /app like this:

    FROM node:10-slim AS react-builder
    
    ARG REACT_APP_ENV
    ENV REACT_APP_ENV $REACT_APP_ENV
    
    WORKDIR /app
    COPY . .
    

    The problem is WORKDIR app is not the same as WORKDIR /app so when you are executing the RUN npm build, the generated build folder will not be saved in your expected /app/build and hence the error.
