WORKDIR doesn't work when running docker-compose run on Windows

It looks like the WORKDIR inside my Dockerfile doesn’t work. I’m trying this on Windows 10. The same works perfectly on Mac.

Here are my project files:
docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  php_under_test:
    build: tests/DockerImages/${PHP_VERSION}
    volumes:
      - .:/opt/project/phpstorm-stubs
  test_runner:
    build: tests/DockerImages/testRunner
    volumes:
      - .:/opt/project/phpstorm-stubs

The tests/DockerImages/testRunner folder has only this Dockerfile:

FROM php:8.1-apache

RUN echo 'memory_limit = 1024M' >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-memlimit.ini
COPY --from=composer /usr/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install git zip unzip

WORKDIR /opt/project/phpstorm-stubs

If I run docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml run test_runner /usr/local/bin/php tests/Tools/generate-stub-map in cmd.exe in the same directory where docker-compose.yml lies, I would get:

C:Projectsphpstorm-stubs>docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml run test_runner /usr/local/bin/php tests/Tools/generate-stub-map
WARNING: The PHP_VERSION variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
Creating phpstorm-stubs_test_runner_run ... done
Could not open input file: tests/Tools/generate-stub-map
ERROR: 1

However, if I run the same using -w: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml run -w /opt/project/phpstorm-stubs test_runner /usr/local/bin/php tests/Tools/generate-stub-map – that would work. Output:

C:Projectsphpstorm-stubs>docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml run -w /opt/project/phpstorm-stubs test_runner /usr/local/bin/php tests/Tools/generate-stub-map
WARNING: The PHP_VERSION variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
Creating phpstorm-stubs_test_runner_run ... done
Parsing "/opt/project/phpstorm-stubs/tests/Tools/../../aerospike/aerospike.php"
Parsing "/opt/project/phpstorm-stubs/tests/Tools/../../aerospike/Bytes.php"
etc...

I can see here that -w is outdated and I should use --project-directory instead, but doesn’t work also:

C:Projectsphpstorm-stubs>docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml --project-directory /opt/project/phpstorm-stubs run test_runner /usr/local/bin/php 
tests/Tools/generate-stub-map
WARNING: The PHP_VERSION variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
ERROR: build path C:optprojectphpstorm-stubstestsDockerImages either does not exist, is not accessible, or is not a valid URL.

I’ve tried to look for something related at docker/compose github issues but found none.

Any help with this is much appreciated.

    WORKDIR from dockerfile corresponds to working_dir in compose file https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#working_dir

    Try to use

      test_runner:
    build: tests/DockerImages/testRunner
    working_dir: /opt/project/phpstorm-stubs
    volumes:
      - .:/opt/project/phpstorm-stubs

    Sounds like you built test_runner image once using Dockerfile of previous version without WORKDIR parameter and trying to re-run container using this outdated image.

    You have to remove image manually or force rebuild it using docker-compose build (or docker-compose up --build) instead of docker-compose run

    You have to understand the different path of your whole project.

    Location of your docker file C:Projectsphpstorm-stubs

    Location of base of your project /opt/project/phpstorm-stubs so the exact whole path to your project base in reality is C:Projectsphpstorm-stubsoptprojectphpstorm-stubs and so the files it is trying to find is actually at C:Projectsphpstorm-stubsoptprojectphpstorm-stubsusrlocalbinphp testsToolsgenerate-stub-map

    So once you used the -f docker-compose.yml it by default thinks that your whole project is at C:Projectsphpstorm-stubs but when you use it with -w /opt/project/phpstorm-stubs it knows that base of your project path is here so it knows that tests/Tools/generate-stub-map is further ahead of it.

    And lastly --project-directory requires the whole path from the base of current drive

    To sum up my answer you need to use command

    docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml --project-directory /Projects/phpstorm-stubs/opt/project/phpstorm-stubs run test_runner /usr/local/bin/php tests/Tools/generate-stub-map
