buildah bud --layers=false / does not handle WORKDIR correctly.

[rhatdan]

If I have a Dockerfile that looks like:

FROM fedora
WORKDIR /test

And then run buildah bud -t workdir --layers=false . on it multiple times. The second time, it will not create the /test directory in the image.

podman run workdir pwd
Error: chdir: No such file or directory: OCI runtime command not found error

If I run buildah bud -t workdir --layers=true .

podman run workdir pwd
/test

This'll overlap with changes to imagebuildah.StageExecutor.Execute() that I'm working on, so I'll take this one.

Does containers/podman#7239 help/solve this?

[rhatdan]

@nalind did you ever make any headway with this?

[rhatdan]

@vrothberg I think you had a similar issue?

[vrothberg]

It's addressed on the Podman-side where the workdir from an image is guaranteed to be created by Podman in case it doesn't exist on the root FS of the image.

A friendly reminder that this issue had no activity for 30 days.

@nalind Did you ever complete this?

This seems to work now.
