Has similar issue been referred?

Not sure you have resolved this but I got the same error today and was able to resolve it. Problem seems to be the sub directory with spaces (C:\Users\fbodin\AppData\Local\Application Data). When I issue the command from a directory with no sub directory with spaces it worked

I got the same error on my Mac when I ran it from my home directory. I wanted to check if the path is the problem. I moved the Dockerfile to a new directory I just created for this purpose and ran it from there. It ran without any hiccups.

My 2 cents.

Hi All,
i was also getting the same error, as suggested moved my docker file to another location. It worked fine after that

Thanks issue got resolved…

Remove both files:

  • .bash_history
  • .python_history

& restart the command:
