So I actually figured this out. It seems to be a timing-related thing.

Add a “RUN true” between each copy step.

So:

COPY … RUN true COPY … RUN true COPY …

etc

That fixed it reliably for me.

Version 2 has been merged to the main branch and is therefore available via uses: docker/build-push-action@v2 (mutable tag).

As a reminder, this new version changes drastically and works with 3 new actions (login, setup-buildx and setup-qemu) that we have created. Many usage examples have been added to handle most use cases.

And it should fix this current issue. Don’t hesitate if you have any questions.
