Feature Request: Please bundle a newer build of docker-credential-ecr-login

[TBBle]

• I have tried with the latest version of Docker Desktop
• I have tried disabling enabled experimental features
• I have uploaded Diagnostics
• Diagnostics ID:
• I am using the Docker WSL2 Backend
• I am using the Docker Hyper-V Backend

Actual behavior

The docker-credential-ecr-login.exe bundled with Docker Desktop is 0.4.0, and predates awslabs/amazon-ecr-credential-helper#201, which means that using it with, e.g., a credentials_process fails unless env-vars are set.

See awslabs/amazon-ecr-credential-helper#232 for details and the workaround.

Hoped-for behaviour

The docker-credential-ecr-login.exe bundled with Docker Desktop is built from newer source than 0.4.0, and includes awslabs/amazon-ecr-credential-helper#201, hence removing the need to worry about setting env-vars.

There hasn't been an upstream release of this utility since 0.4.0, but not much has changed since. In fact, this is the only changelog-worth feature since then. So I'm hoping just building the latest master tree is fine.

Otherwise, this can wait for an 0.5.0 release, whenever that happens: https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-ecr-credential-helper/milestone/3

Thanks, @TBBle. We do generally wait for official releases of our upstream components: do you have any idea when the 0.5.0 (or 0.4.1?) release will be made?

[TBBle]

I don't know, it's been a long time since the last release (January 2020) so I thought the project was idled. However, there was some renewed activity from a few maintainers in December, including creating an 0.5.0 milestone albeit without a target date.

Perhaps @samuelkarp or @kzys can clarify the current and intended state?

[TBBle]

Amazon ECR Credential Helper - Release v0.5.0 has been released, so this should be unblocked now.

[stephen-turner]

Great, thanks for letting us know.

[stephen-turner]

We've bumped it in our code, it will be in the next release.

Ooops, forgot to close this. docker-credential-ecr-login 0.5.0 was included in Docker Desktop 3.2.0.
