"baseName must not contain a slash: '/

[cflewis]

Using the Dockerfile image of FROM google/debian:wheezy and installing Java 8, I get this error when I try to run blaze build. It's super non-descript. What's the baseName? What does it do? Why can it not have a / in it? Any ideas?

I am not sync'd to HEAD due to #359 .

My Dockerfile is at https://github.com/cflewis/wordcount/blob/eb66dbc9882ca43a643d1b4eee3e40721f0079aa/Dockerfile

Note this doesn't happen with the base image FROM gcr.io/google_appengine/java-compat

[kchodorow]

It looks like this was caused by the --workspace_directory=/.
