Description Adam Kaplan 2020-03-04 16:49:29 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1810185 +++

This is a tracking bug for components that may not be able to immediately migrate their CI to 4.x clusters due a behavior skew between imagebuilder and buildah.

Docker has a longstanding bug using globs in COPY directives (i.e. COPY foo/dir/* /tmp/dir/ ). If the directory structure includes subdirectories, these subdirectories are not present in the destination [1][2]. Buildah - which is used to run builds in OCP 4.x - inherited this bug to maintain compatibility with Docker.

Imagebuilder - which is used to run multistage Dockerfile builds on OCP 3.11 - does not have this bug. Teams migrating their CI jobs from our 3.11 cluster to 4.x clusters may encounter failures if their build relies on glob copies that preserve the subdirectory structure.

The following repos (producing images with the referenced Dockerfiles) may be impacted:

openshift/cluster-etcd-operator › Dockerfile.rhel7
openshift/cluster-image-registry-operator › Dockerfile
openshift/cluster-kube-apiserver-operator › Dockerfile.rhel7
openshift/cluster-kube-controller-manager-operator › Dockerfile.rhel7

openshift/prometheus-operator › scripts/tooling/Dockerfile
openshift/router › images/router/haproxy/Dockerfile
openshift/router › images/router/haproxy/Dockerfile.rhel
openshift/router › images/router/nginx/Dockerfile
openshift/router › images/router/nginx/Dockerfile.rhel
openshift/svt › networking/synthetic/stac-s2i-builder-image/Dockerfile
openshift/windows-machine-config-operator › build/Dockerfile


Solution:

When possible, use simple directory copies with a trailing slash in the destination instead of globs. This will copy the directory and its subdirectories to the destination.

Example:

```
COPY foo/dir /tmp/
```

will move the contents of “dir” to /tmp/dir. This may require you to update the source file structure so that the source and destination directories align.

Actions:

1. Review the Dockerfiles used to build your images if your Dockerfile is referenced above.
2. Test your Dockerfile build with a current version of Docker or buildah. If your build fails with Docker/buildah, replace glob usage with simple directory file copies.
3. Submit a PR with your changes, referencing the appropriate BZ for the version you are targeting your PR against.
4. Cherrypick your PRs to the earliest version the referenced Dockerfile was used to produce an image. Retitle your PR with the appropriate BZ and mention Ben Parees (@bparees) in your pull request.

I cannot find any related PR for the bug. So many impacting Dockerfiles need to check, please point me the detail.

Comment 5 Ben Parees 2020-04-08 14:40:19 UTC
I'm just going to close this bug out, we've fixed a lot of dockerfiles w/ it, if there are any remaining that got missed or need additional tweaks, we'll open specific bugs against those components.
