Invalid destination for ''ADD''/''COPY'' commands

Reports invalid destination directories in ADD and COPY commands.

According to the Dockerfile specification, if multiple sources are specified, then the destination must be a directory, and it must end with a slash '/'. Otherwise, Docker build will fail.

Locating this inspection

By ID

Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.

DockerFileAddOrCopyPaths

Via Settings dialog

Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.

Settings or Preferences | Editor | Inspections | Dockerfile

Examples:

  # all the commands below will fail
  ADD textA.txt textB.txt relativeDir
  ADD ["binaryA.jar", "binary2.jar", "destination"]
  COPY text3.txt text4.txt /absolute/path

After the quick-fix is applied:

  ADD textA.txt textB.txt relativeDir/
  ADD ["binaryA.jar", "binary2.jar", "destination/"]
  COPY text3.txt text4.txt /absolute/path/
