tag is needed when pushing to registry

[balazssoltesz]

hello, i installed @nx-tools/nx-docker & @nx-tools/docker-metadata packages.
i have a target with the following configuration:

        "docker": {
          "executor": "@nx-tools/nx-docker:build",
          "options": {
            "file": "apps/admin/Dockerfile",
            "push": true,
            "metadata": {
              "images": ["#########"],
              "tags": [
                  "type=match,pattern=admin@(.*),group=1"
              ] 
            }
          },
          "dependsOn": [
            {
              "target": "build",
              "projects": "self"
            }
          ]
        },

Then i added tag "admin@0.1.0" to my last commit, but when i try to run this target, i get the error message: tag is needed when pushing to registry,

Am i doing somthing wrong?

Hi @balazssoltesz, the config seems to be fine... Are you running the builder in your local machine or in a supported CI environment

Even when you running in a local machine and you have a tag, the local context use git symbolic-ref HEAD so will be executed using the branch name, not the admin@0.1.0 tag

I have a similar issue. My setup was working with version 1.1.0-alpha.3 but is now broken with version 2.2.0.

My config with version 1.1.0-alpha.3 is

"executor": "@nx-tools/nx-docker:build",
  "options": {
    "push": true,
    "file": "apps/…/Dockerfile",
    "meta": {
      "enabled": true,
      "images": ["…"]
    }
  }

For version 2.2.0 tried

"executor": "@nx-tools/nx-docker:build",
  "options": {
    "push": true,
    "file": "apps/…/Dockerfile",
    "meta": {
      "enabled": true,
      "tags": ["type=ref,event=branch"],
      "images": ["…"]
    }
  }

I thought this would be equivalent, why does version 2 need more configuration? Everything worked fine in version 1.1.0-alpha.3. With Version 1.0.5 I get the same error. So there is something in that alpha, that makes with work perfectly that is gone in version 2.2.0.

@DaSchTour for v2 should be:

"executor": "@nx-tools/nx-docker:build",
  "options": {
    "push": true,
    "file": "apps/…/Dockerfile",
    "metadata": {
      "tags": ["type=ref,event=branch"],
      "images": ["…"]
  }
}

metarenamed to metadata... and remove meta.enabled prop

If still having issues please provide a minimum reproduction repository

I updated my configuration to this

"docker": {
      "executor": "@nx-tools/nx-docker:build",
      "options": {
        "push": true,
        "file": "apps/…/Dockerfile",
        "metadata": {
          "tags": [
            "type=schedule",
            "type=ref,event=branch",
            "type=ref,event=tag",
            "type=ref,event=pr",
            "type=semver,pattern={{version}}",
            "type=semver,pattern={{major}}.{{minor}}",
            "type=semver,pattern={{major}}",
            "type=sha,prefix=sha-"
          ],
          "images": […]
        }
      }
    },

My CI fails with

error: tag is needed when pushing to registry
buildx failed with: error: tag is needed when pushing to registry

I had to fix my package-lock and now it actually works. Thanks for the help @gperdomor
