Error when installing composer

[laics1984]

Hi i am running when below command but it returns the error message. What is the issue here?

$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app composer/composer install
Composer could not find a composer.json file in /app
To initialize a project, please create a composer.json file as described in the https://getcomposer.org/ "Getting Started" section

and i checked, composer.json is in pwd directory.

Thanks.

Are you running this on Docker for Windows by any chance? I'm getting the same problem on my machine; it's saying the composer.json file doesn't exist, but it is definitely in the specified location.

Hi, any update for this issue? I am using Docker for Windows as well @Rainbowlemon have you found a workaround?

I used Powershell, CygWin, even Git Bash but to no avail.

@cian0 It was a while ago, but I think I figured out this was to do with windows/bash returning a path that couldn't be interpreted by docker. It was because the path returned by $(pwd) was in windows-style format - similar to this comment.

Try just composer image. This Docker image has moved to the official one.

No solution as of now.

This has moved over at https://hub.docker.com/_/composer/ ....

docker run --rm --interactive --tty \
    --volume $PWD:/app \
    composer install

Guys, try to disable selinux. It should help.

setenforce 0

And rerun your build after that.
