Docker-compose with piping fails

If I attempt to use docker-compose up with a piped-in docker-compose file I experience a failure:

me@me-desktop:/tmp$ echo "version: '3'

services:
  container1:
    image: quay.io/my-org/image

  container2:
    image: quay.io/my-org/image
  " | docker-compose -f - up 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/docker-compose", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('docker-compose==1.25.0', 'console_scripts', 'docker-compose')()

    map(str, (os.path.normpath(c.filename) for c in config_details.config_files)))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/posixpath.py", line 336, in normpath
    path = os.fspath(path)
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

However, if I write this same configuration to a docker-compose.yml file and run docker-compose up the two containers come up just fine. Unfortunately for my test setup, I need to be able to pipe and can’t write to disk.

Was wondering if anyone has experienced this or had guidance, thanks!
