Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, if a Dockerfile used in Docker strategy builds used the ARG instruction to define build arguments before the first FROM instruction occurred in the Dockerfile, that instruction would be dropped when the Dockerfile was preprocessed to incorporate any overrides which might have been specified in the Build or BuildConfig. References to those arguments would subsequently not be resolved properly while building an image using the preprocessed Dockerfile. The preprocessing logic has been modified so that it preserves ARG instructions which are encountered before the first FROM instruction when generating the updated Dockerfile contents, so this problem should no longer occur.

Description OpenShift BugZilla Robot 2020-06-03 09:02:39 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1842982 +++

Description of problem:

If a Dockerfile used in Docker strategy builds has build args that precede the first FROM statement, the build arg is dropped from the generated Dockerfile.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.4


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Docker strategy build with a BuildConfig that has ARG instructions that precede the first FROM statement:

```
apiVersion: build.openshift.io/v1
kind: BuildConfig
metadata:
  name: dropped-build-arg
spec:
  source:
    dockerfile: |-
      ARG foo=centos
      FROM registry.redhat.io/ubi8/ubi:latest
      RUN echo "hello from ubi!"
      FROM $foo
      RUN echo "hello from $foo"
    type: Dockerfile
  strategy:
    dockerStrategy: {}
    type: Docker

2. Start the build


Actual results:

Build will fail - no such image $foo

Expected results:

Build should succeed.

Now latest payload is 4.5.0-0.nightly-2020-07-29-230326, should wait newer payload with the pr merged.

Comment 7 wewang 2020-07-31 00:37:21 UTC
Verified in version: 
4.5.0-0.nightly-2020-07-30-020337

Steps:
1. Create a bc:
```
apiVersion: build.openshift.io/v1
kind: BuildConfig
metadata:
  name: dropped-build-arg
spec:
  source:
    dockerfile: |-
      ARG foo=centos
      FROM registry.redhat.io/ubi8/ubi:latest
      RUN echo "hello from ubi!"
      FROM $foo
      RUN echo "hello from $foo"
    type: Dockerfile
  strategy:
    dockerStrategy: {}
    type: Docker
```
2. Start build with bc, build complete
