Building docker fails with "COPY failed: no source files were specified"

See original GitHub issue

I tried building the docker

git clone https://github.com/sitespeedio/throttle.git
cd throttle
cd test
docker build -t throttle-docker .

It ends with an error

Sending build context to Docker daemon  3.072kB

Step 6/10 : COPY package.* /usr/src/app/
COPY failed: no source files were specified

Is this normal? am I missing something?

A little background here. I want to run the network tests on a windows machine, I already know what throttle only works on Mac and Linux but there was a section about running this from inside a docker. And this is important for me to get cross platform consistency of running this test. Also it’s nice to run everything in a docker if I wish to automate this on a CI like circle.

The docs wasn’t 100% clear if this was the strategy, to build a docker that has support for throttle from there to build the docker networks and run the performance tests.

Alright no problem, yeah I’ll look into that. I was thinking that I can definitely get this self-contained in a Linux VM image, though I wanted something that can be run a bit easier so I thought if I stuffed it all in a docker. It’s not the best thing to have a docker spawn dockers inside it.

Thanks for that article though, was super helpful and really appreciate you replying to this thread so quickly!

I think it’s really hard to do it platform independent. What you can do is setup a Linux box and then share that network to boxes (if you run it locally on your own servers).

For CircleCi (or Travis or whatever) you should be able to run it on Linux as long as you have the right privileges, but I haven’t tried it myself 😃
