Invalid spaces in ''key=value'' pair

Reports incorrect spacing for key-value pairs in ARG, ENV, and LABEL commands.

While it is not explicitly specified in the Dockerfile specification, some combinations of spacing for key-value pairs are not allowed. Docker build will fail after reaching the problem instruction.

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.

DockerFileAssignments

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:

The ARG command does not allow any spaces around '='
ENV and LABEL do not allow spaces after '='

  # all the commands below will fail
  ARG answer = 42
  ARG version= "1.0.0"
  LABEL "maintained.by"= someone@gmail.com
  ENV JAVA_HOME= "/docker-java-home"

After the quick-fix is applied:

  ARG answer=2
  ARG version="1.0.0"
  LABEL "maintained.by"=someone@gmail.com
  ENV JAVA_HOME="/docker-java-home"
