Docker task cannot find dockerfile in staging directory,

See original GitHub issue

Environment

VSTS: provisioinsights / spectre, Build: InitialProcessor / Build 20171014.6 Agent: Hosted VS2017

Issue Description

Tasks

Copy files: including **\Dockerfile-Publish to $(build.artifactstagingdirectory)
Docker: Action: build image, Docker file: $(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\**\Dockerfile-Publish

Error No Docker file matching d:\a\1\a**\Dockerfile-Publish was found.

Copy files task logs show that the file is indeed copied and I can also see the Dockerfile-Publish in artifacts. Is the docker task trying to find this pattern inside the source directory?

For those who are struggling with single solution multi project build setup in Azure pipeline for Docker. I had exactly the same issue, and if you look into the command line that the build server gives out you can see that it tries, by default, to make a build in the project directory.

So to fix this, you most likely need to add a buildContext: $(Build.SourcesDirectory) to the actual build file. This forces the Docker context to e.g. Solution level (because the Dockerfile copy commands are based on the solution level directory).

Probably worth adding to somewhere in the comments or smth.
