Invalid reference format error when auto-building repository

Docker Hub
1

Hi there,

I’ve set up docker builds for a github repository.

For my builds I’m using a publicly available base image.

A specific tag of the base image is used by my builder.

For example:

FROM bryanhuntesl/artful-erlang:$otp_tag

Where otp_tag is :

 OTP_R16B02_basho10

This was all working last week, but is now breaking with an ‘invalid reference format’ error :

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks,

Meaningless error message - found out more about the way it works - here - https://docs.docker.com/docker-cloud/builds/advanced/#custom-build-phase-hooks

Just a thought: Have you tried also the ${otp_tag} syntax?
