Inspection

Description

Default Severity

Invalid destination for ''ADD''/''COPY'' commands



Reports invalid destination directories in ADD and COPY commands.

According to the Dockerfile specification, if multiple sources are specified, then the destination must be a directory, and it must end with a slash '/'. Otherwise, Docker build will fail.

Examples:

# all the commands below will fail ADD textA.txt textB.txt relativeDir ADD ["binaryA.jar", "binary2.jar", "destination"] COPY text3.txt text4.txt /absolute/path


After the quick-fix is applied:
ADD textA.txt textB.txt relativeDir/ ADD ["binaryA.jar", "binary2.jar", "destination/"] COPY text3.txt text4.txt /absolute/path/

Warning Warning

Invalid spaces in ''key=value'' pair



Reports incorrect spacing for key-value pairs in ARG, ENV, and LABEL commands.

While it is not explicitly specified in the Dockerfile specification, some combinations of spacing for key-value pairs are not allowed. Docker build will fail after reaching the problem instruction.

Examples:

  • The ARG command does not allow any spaces around '='

  • ENV and LABEL do not allow spaces after '='

# all the commands below will fail ARG answer = 42 ARG version= "1.0.0" LABEL "maintained.by"= someone@gmail.com ENV JAVA_HOME= "/docker-java-home"


After the quick-fix is applied:
ARG answer=2 ARG version="1.0.0" LABEL "maintained.by"=someone@gmail.com ENV JAVA_HOME="/docker-java-home"

Error Error

Wrong number of arguments



Reports invalid number of arguments for the Dockerfile commands.

Docker build will fail after reaching the instruction with an invalid number of arguments.
