Any example of how to use the Dart VM for local development with Docker? about dart-docker

[bradcypert]

I finally fully understood what my issue was. My issue was that I was using a volume that was my entire app folder and it was pushing .dart_tool/ into the container as well, which was referencing paths on my host machine.

My docker file ultimately ended up like this:

FROM dart:2.17
ENV HOMEDIR=/manudac
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN rm /app/pubspec.lock
RUN rm -rf .dart_tool
RUN dart pub get --no-offline
RUN dart pub update
EXPOSE 4040
CMD ["dart", "run", "lib/app.dart"]

I can probably clean that up a bit, but at least its no longer a blocker. Thanks again @cpswan ! :)

You may need to add an ENV HOMEDIR= to your Dockerfile to get dart pub get to drop the files into the right place.

Here's a Dockerfile that I know works running an app in the VM.
