Hi I have multiple projects in my repository. One of my projects needs to include artifact files from outside the project. When I try to include that file in the Docker image, I get a "file not found" error. Could someone please tell me which path Pants uses as the context folder? Folder Structure

config/
   |_____task/config.json
projects/
   |_____project1/
           |_______docker/Dockerfile
           |_______project1/main.py
           |_______BUILD
   |_____project2/
           |_______docker/Dockerfile
           |_______project2/main.py
           |_______BUILD

Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:latest

COPY config/task/ /opt/config

BUILD

files(
    name="configs",
    sources=[
        "config/**/*",
    ],
)

docker_image(
    name="docker",
    image_tags=["{build_args.GITHUB_SHA}"],
    source="docker/Dockerfile",
    dependencies=[
        ":configs",
    ],
)

When I run the

pants package

command, I get an error saying the

config/task/

folder is not found. I've tried using relative paths in dockerfile, but it didn't work. Could someone please explain how to use a config file from outside the Pants context folder?

pants is designed to be reproducable, so for every build it creates a temporary directory, copies all the dependencies of

docker_image

target into this directory and uses it as the context folder

Thank you! I will try this
