PATH set with ENV does not persist

Info:

• Docker version ($ docker --version): Docker version 18.09.2, build 6247962
• Laradock commit ($ git rev-parse HEAD): 39469e1
• System info (Mac, PC, Linux): Linux
• System info disto/version: Ubuntu

Issue:

I have added Python in the Workspace container and i am trying to update the PATH with the following line
ENV PATH $PATH:~/.local/bin
yet the path is not updated when i access the workspace image.

/root/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/var/www/vendor/bin

I have tried placing the code in the end of the Dockerfile but still no luck.
I have tried the code in a simple Dockerfile and works fine.

Also the following from Node block does not work:

ENV PATH $PATH:$NVM_DIR/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin

---

Expected behavior:

/root/.local/bin:/root/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/var/www/vendor/bin

---

Reproduce:

ENV PATH $PATH:~/.local/bin

---

Relevant Code:

ARG INSTALL_PYTHON=false

RUN if [ ${INSTALL_PYTHON} = true ]; then \
  apt-get -y install python python-pip python-dev build-essential  \
  # && pip install --upgrade pip \
  # && hash -d pip \
  && pip install boto3 \
  # && pip install --upgrade virtualenv \
  && pip install awscli --upgrade --user\
;fi

ENV PATH $PATH:~/.local/bin

[dimsamaras]

The ENV needs to be reset due to the --user param in this line: pip install awscli --upgrade --user
Removing installs the awscli globally in the container.
It is a naive workaround since the ENV is not yet set!

Use the same code as composer vendor, should work

# Export python path
RUN echo "" >> ~/.bashrc && \
echo 'export PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
