Windows 10 Error building InfluxDb

[purusartha]

Docker version 18.06.1-ce installed

I am doing a git clone of the sandbox, then running sandbox up from inside a command prompt and get the following error:

D:\Source\Repos\influxtestbench\sandbox>sandbox up
Spinning up Docker Images...
If this is your first time starting sandbox this might take a minute...
WARNING: The TYPE variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
Building influxdb
ERROR: Cannot locate specified Dockerfile: .//Dockerfile

The dockerfile it is looking for is inside the latest||nightly folders, but still does not work.Help please.

Same error.

The issue appears to be that the Windows sandbox.bat file doesn't set any of the environment variables from .env or .env-latest. This is what the WARNING re: TYPE about.

Setting the environment variables in those files has gotten me to the building portion. I'm failing because Docker for Windows is failing to let me share a volume (docker/for-win#2549).

I have the same problem in Windows 10 with the 'TYPE' variable.

PS C:\users\ross1\documents\sandbox-master> docker-compose config
WARNING: The TYPE variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
services:
chronograf:
build:
args:
CHRONOGRAF_TAG: chronograf:latest
context: C:\users\ross1\documents\sandbox-master\images\chronograf
dockerfile: .//Dockerfile

Can I get a little more info on properly setting this env variable?
