The oficial documentation can be found here.

cannot run sbt from root directory – Debian

I’m getting an error as follows:

#8 46.51 [error] java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot run sbt from root directory without -Dsbt.rootdir=true; see sbt/sbt#1458
#8 46.51 [error] Use 'last' for the full log.

The Dockerfile is mostly just downloading and installing the debian. But something is making sbt unhappy. Not sure what it is.

FROM openjdk:8 as build
ENV SBT_VERSION "1.5.8"
ENV APP_HOME /service
# Install sbt
RUN 
  curl -L -o sbt-$SBT_VERSION.deb https://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/debian/sbt-$SBT_VERSION.deb && 
  dpkg -i sbt-$SBT_VERSION.deb && 
  rm sbt-$SBT_VERSION.deb && 
  apt-get update && 
  apt-get install sbt && 
  sbt sbtVersion

    By the look of the error your getting try adding before the RUN command

    the end result will be

    FROM openjdk:8 as build
ENV SBT_VERSION "1.5.8"
ENV APP_HOME /service
WORKDIR /app
# Install sbt
RUN 
  curl -L -o sbt-$SBT_VERSION.deb https://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/debian/sbt-$SBT_VERSION.deb && 
  dpkg -i sbt-$SBT_VERSION.deb && 
  rm sbt-$SBT_VERSION.deb && 
  apt-get update && 
  apt-get install sbt && 
  sbt sbtVersion

    I believe the issue is using root aka / as the working directory. Adding WORKDIR /home before the RUN ... command fixes the docker build ... error and I was able to docker run ... successfully.

    docker build ...
