create .: volume name is too short, names should be at least two alphanumeric characters

When I am trying to run function locally I got error form docker:

sam local invoke "HelloWorldFunction" -e index.js

As a workaround, you can specify the full path to the template with --template $(pwd)/template.yaml

I need to dig further into why the absolute path isn’t being resolved. Im struggling to replicate this locally though. I know @ranman ran into this too.

Hi @sanathkr

here is my task template its form awslabs/serverless-application-model repo.

AWSTemplateFormatVersion : '2010-09-09'
Transform: AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31
Description: A hello world application.
Parameters:
  Bucket:
    Type: String
  CodeZipKey:
    Type: String
Resources:
  HelloWorldFunction:
    Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
    Properties:
      Handler: index.handler
      Runtime: nodejs4.3
      CodeUri:
        Bucket: !Bucket
        Key: !CodeZipKey

Yes it is a totally a docker issue. But maybe ‘./’ can be used instead ‘.’ when mounting current dir to container.
