Docker build-push-action "Not a valid object name"; outputs all branches and tags for repo-CodePudding

When running our docker build in a GitHub Action Workflow, the docker/build-push-action@v2 keeps outputting this error below. This is prior to running any of the commands in our Dockerfile:

Run docker/build-push-action@v2

This outputs some 3000 lines of useless output, and appears to be some misconfiguration. How can I fix this root issue, or at least get the output under control?

It appears to be related to the last part of the docker buildx build command: --push https://github.com/org/project.git#abc123, but that does not seem to be within direct control in any of our configs.

CodePudding user response：

Turns out the build-push-action runs in a "GitHub" context by default. At the very least, it means pulling down your repository as part of pre-Dockerfile command.

You can change it to the "file" context by using:

      - name: Build and push
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
        with:
          context: .
          push: true
          tags: user/app:latest

Since we take down the repository as part of a checkout action earlier, it was redundant.
