Hey everyone I am having a problem using the native packager to create a docker image of a Scalatra web app. The relevant part of my build.sbt file is here:
enablePlugins(JettyPlugin)
enablePlugins(JavaAppPackaging)
enablePlugins(DockerPlugin)
// for Docker, the "." location where it is looking for files is in target/docker/stage. For the COPY command to work,
// the sbt Docker packager has to know this file resides in ../../scala-2.11 so include this mapping
//mappings in Docker += file("../../scala-2.11/direct2-batch-match_2.11-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.war") -> "direct2-batch-match_2.11-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.war"
dockerCommands := Seq(Cmd("FROM","tomcat:8.0.20-jre8"), Cmd("LABEL", """vendor="Dun & Bradstreet" """), Cmd("LABEL", """version="0.0" """), Cmd("EXPOSE", "8080"), Cmd("COPY","direct2-batch-match_2.11-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.war","webapps/d2bm.war"))
As you can see I have commented out mappings in Docker. The reason for this is if I leave it in, it creates an empty directory in target/docker/stage with the same name as my war file (in this case direct2-batch-match_2.11-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.war). This allows the Dockerfile to work fine for the docker build, but the contents of the war file are not included in the build.
I am running on Mac OS X, I wondered if this was a bug where the plugin was attempting to create a link to the desired file and perhaps the link command for Linux gives the wrong results on Mac OS X Sierra.
Do I need to do the mappings differently? Has anyone else run into this? The empty directory is created when I run docker:publishLocal in sbt, I am using plugin version 1.2.0-M9.
results of running docker:publishLocal in sbt:

As you can see something is wrong it's useless to put an empty directory in there instead of the file, that's why I'm thinking this is supposed to be a link instead. In my set file if I use "mappings in Universal" instead it produces the same result, an empty directory with the war file's name.
