[FIXED] How to make the ARTIFACT_NAME Dynamic?

Issue

While trying to create docker build, getting error as below:

Status: Downloaded newer image for adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine-jre

Here is the docker file:

# using multistage docker build
# ref: https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/
    
# temp container to build using gradle
FROM gradle:6.9.1-jdk11 AS TEMP_BUILD_IMAGE
ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app/
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
COPY build.gradle settings.gradle $APP_HOME
  
COPY gradle $APP_HOME/gradle
COPY --chown=gradle:gradle . /home/gradle/src
USER root
RUN chown -R gradle /home/gradle/src
    
RUN gradle build || return 0
COPY . .
RUN gradle clean build
    
# actual container
FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine-jre
ENV ARTIFACT_NAME=userservice.jar <--- Here (fails)
ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app/
    
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
COPY --from=TEMP_BUILD_IMAGE $APP_HOME/build/libs/*.jar ${ARTIFACT_NAME} <--- Here (fails)
    
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-Dspring.profiles.active=h2_db", "-jar", "${ARTIFACT_NAME}"]

If we hardcode build file name as below, then things works fine:

# actual container
FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine-jre
ENV ARTIFACT_NAME=userservice-0.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar <--- Here (works)
ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app/
    
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
COPY --from=TEMP_BUILD_IMAGE $APP_HOME/build/libs/$ARTIFACT_NAME .  <--- Here (works)

How to copy the latest build artifacts as a specific name? In above case userservice-0.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar should be picked as userservice.jar.

Solution

When you define ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app/, the final COPY source becomes /usr/app//build/libs/*.jar.

It looks for wildcard, docker build can't handle it well. But if you don't use wildcard, above // works well.

So, for your scenario, just change to ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app could fix your problem.

Dockerfile:

FROM gradle:6.9.1-jdk11 AS TEMP_BUILD_IMAGE
ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app/
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
RUN mkdir -p build/libs; cd build/libs; touch userservice-0.0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar

FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine-jre
ENV ARTIFACT_NAME=userservice.jar
#ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app/
ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app

WORKDIR $APP_HOME
COPY --from=TEMP_BUILD_IMAGE $APP_HOME/build/libs/*.jar ${ARTIFACT_NAME}

EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-Dspring.profiles.active=h2_db", "-jar", "${ARTIFACT_NAME}"]

Execution:

# docker build . --no-cache
Sending build context to Docker daemon  2.048kB
......

Additional, if you change backend to BUILDKIT like next, the /usr/app/ still can work, so I guess this related to docker implemenation issue:

Execution with buildkit:

# DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --progress=plain . --no-cache
......
