@chrmarti
The same Dockerfile, I can build image via cmd successfully, so only problem occurs in VS code.

[AlexYangGitHub]

no follow up ?

[chrmarti]

The context is set to /Users/Alex/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers/configs/ReadingProject. Does that folder contain a requirements.txt?

[AlexYangGitHub]

Absolutely yes.

Error message from above "=> ERROR [dev_container_auto_added_stage_label 3/5] COPY requirements.tx 0.0s".
that file name is "requirements.tx" , not my file name "requirements.txt".
I try it at window10 and macOS, got the same result.

[AlexYangGitHub]

@chrmarti I just have the 3 simple files, and want to create image and container via VSCode,which worked well before, but now just have problem with.

Reading_2.zip

and MacOS

[chrmarti]

The zip file you attached does not have a devcontainer.json, are these files not in the same location? Maybe you are using a workspace folder with the requirements.txt and a separate user-data-dir folder for the devcontainer.json?

[AlexYangGitHub]

Yes, my devcontainer.json is in different dir.
After VScode creates devcontainer.json in the same dir, problem is solved.
Thanks.

But why previous version of VSCode did not have this problem ?

[chrmarti]

The COPY source path in the Dockerfile is relative to the context folder. Maybe you changed the context folder in the devcontainer.json? When there is no context folder specified, the Dockerfile's folder is used as the default.

[AlexYangGitHub]

ok, thanks you @chrmarti
