No docker compile file(s)

[lonix1]

I'm using ubuntu.

It tells me No docker compile file(s) in the sidebar. And a little popup shows an error with

Docker Compose Error: Command failed: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml ps
.FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './docker-compose.yml'

I have a docker-compose.yml file, but not in the project root. Should it be discovered?

@lonix1 if it's not in project root you should define docker-compose.files.

If I set this:

"docker-compose.files": [
  "foo/bar/baz/docker-compose.yml"
]

And reload vscode, then it detects the file. But there are problems:

1. I have an .env file which configures the docker-compose file, and the extension doesn't consider it and so shows me errors

Docker Compose Error: Command failed: docker-compose -f ./foo/bar/baz/docker-compose.yml ps
The FOO variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
The BAR variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
The BAZ variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
The Compose file '././foo/bar/baz/docker-compose.yml' is invalid because:
...more errors, it should be a number, or an object

2. it's not a user friendly way to manage many yml files in different directories.... would be nice if it scanned automatically and found them

Ad. 1 That's what I'm working on

I tried it with

    "docker-compose.files": [
        "**/docker-compose.yml",
        "**/docker-compose.*.yml"
    ]

Looks like it does not have any effect:

Docker Compose Error: Command failed: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml ps
.FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './docker-compose.yml'

Even if pointing to a specific file with path like @lonix1 did it does still try to use ./docker-compose.yml
