Docker compose can't find named Dockerfile - linux

Question

my project structure is defined like this (names are just for example):
- docker-compose.yml
- env_files
- foo.env
- dockerfiles
-service_1
-foo.Dockerfile
-requirements.txt
- code_folder_1
- ...
- code_folder_2
- ...
In my docker-compose:
some_service:
container_name: foo_name
build:
context: .
dockerfile: ./dockerfiles/service_1/foo.Dockerfile
ports:
- 80:80
env_file:
- ./env_files/foo.env
Dockerfile:
FROM python:3.8-slim
WORKDIR /some_work_dir
COPY ./dockerfiles/intermediary/requirements.txt .
RUN pip3 install --upgrade pip==21.3.1 && \
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
EXPOSE 80
And after i run docker compose build in the directory where compose file is located I get this error:
failed to solve: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to read dockerfile: open /var/lib/docker/tmp/buildkit-mount4158855397/Dockerfile: no such file or directory
I really do not understand why this is happening. I need to set context:. because I have multiple folders that I need to COPY inside foo.Dockerfile
Same error was replicated in macOS Monterey 12.5.1 and Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS (Bionic Beaver)

Answer 1

I solved a similar issue by writing a script like the following:
#!/bin/bash
SCRIPT_PATH=$(readlink -f $(dirname $0))
SCRIPT_PATH=${SCRIPT_PATH} docker-compose -f ${SCRIPT_PATH}/docker-compose.yaml up -d --build $#
And changing the yaml into:
some_service:
container_name: foo_name
build:
context: .
dockerfile: ${SCRIPT_PATH}/dockerfiles/service_1/foo.Dockerfile
ports:
- 80:80
env_file:
- ${SCRIPT_PATH}/env_files/foo.env
