Answer 1

In my case, I had to put all my project files into a subdirectory

app -|inside app directory we have the following
     | package.js
     | src 
     | assets
Dockerfile

Then I copied files in his way

COPY app ./

Answer 2

I had to use the following command to start the build:

docker build .

Answer 3

When using the Docker compose files, publish, publishes to obj/Docker/Publish. When I copied my files there and pointed my Dockerfile to this directory (as generated), it works…

Answer 4

In your case removing ./ should solve the issue. I had another case wherein I was using a directory from the parent directory and docker can only access files present below the directory where Dockerfile is present so if I have a directory structure /root/dir and Dockerfile /root/dir/Dockerfile

I cannot copy do the following

COPY root/src /opt/src

Answer 5

You should put those files into the same directory with Dockerfile.

Answer 6

I was also facing the same, I moved my docker file to root of the project. then it worked
