DOCKER> unknown flag: --driver with M1 Mac

[pdurbin]

I'm opening this issue on behalf of @sekmiller who unfortunately is not having a great first time experience with Docker. 😅

He's using Docker 4.22.0 (117440). He's on an M1 Mac.

He's on the Payara 6 branch as of this commit: 0133009

When he tries to build the (Payara 6) base image with mvn -Pct -f modules/container-base install, he gets this:

[INFO] DOCKER> [gdcc/base:unstable] “base”: Created docker-build.tar in 3 seconds
[INFO] DOCKER> docker --config /Users/stephenkraffmiller/Documents/GitHub/modules/container-base/target/buildx-state buildx create --driver docker-container --name maven
[INFO] DOCKER> unknown flag: --driver

(This works for me on my M2 Mac at home.)

He also saw this on the Java 17 branch as of 7274eef

This GitHub issue stuck out for me:

• "Presence of the --config flag, causes the build to fail with unknown flag: --driver" -- Docker error for multi-arch build fabric8io/docker-maven-plugin#1678

@poikilotherm found this one:

• Buildx not work properly on Mac with Apple Silicon chip docker/for-mac#6928

Afterward, @sekmiller tried adding -Dfabric8-dmp.version=0.43.2 but it didn't help.

I just tried on my M2 Mac (same commit) and it worked fine. I wonder what the difference is. 🤔

I'm on Docker version 20.10.23, build 7155243

Docker Desktop version 4.17.0 (99724)

If it matters, macOS 13.4.1 (c) (22F770820d)

@sekmiller @pdurbin y'all could try https://github.com/fabric8io/docker-maven-plugin/releases/tag/v0.43.3 via -Dfabric8-dmp.version=0.43.3. They might have just added a workaround.

[pdurbin]

Thanks, I added it to the thread: https://iqss.slack.com/archives/C010LA04BCG/p1692010453029759?thread_ts=1691592583.014789&cid=C010LA04BCG

While 0.43.3 fixed the problem on @sekmiller 's M1, it causes failure when pushing preview images to GHCR.

Opened a bug report at DMP's fabric8io/docker-maven-plugin#1701

[wanieldilson]

This seems fixed in 0.43.3 but broken again in 0.43.4

[pdurbin]

I'm seeing this problem on my non-M1 Mac (Intel chip, that is). I'm using 0.43.4 (develop branch, 960751f). I started this thread about it:

https://dataverse.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/375812-containers/topic/unknown.20flag.3A.20--driver/near/404949182

[pdurbin]

mvn -Pct -f modules/container-base install -Dfabric8-dmp.version=0.43.3 worked! Interesting.

[grnadav]

I'm getting this issue on my non-M1 mac (and NOT getting it on M1), @pdurbin 's proposal did not work for me.
using version 0.43.4

[pdurbin]

@grnadav hmm, maybe try downgrading to 0.43.3?

[grnadav]

Yes, it didn't work.
My current workaround is to add -Ddocker.platforms= when running on my Intel machine to disable buildx

[pdurbin]

@grnadav it's funny, I'm on an M2 at home and I haven't had any trouble lately. I just added it to our agenda for Thursday.

I don't love having lots of back and forth on closed issues. Do you want to move to https://dataverse.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/375812-containers/topic/unknown.20flag.3A.20--driver/near/404949182 or a new thread?

[pdurbin]

@grnadav I heard 0.44 is out. Would you like to try it? 😄

[poikilotherm]

Trying it out is easy: just go for mvn -Pct -f modules/container-base install -Dfabric8-dmp.version=0.44

[grnadav]

Oh nice, didn't notice the release (I'll subscribe for future).
I'll give it a try and update

[pdurbin]

I'm reopening this issue.

We ended up staying on 0.43.4.

We tried 0.44.0 but it didn't work on Mac.

I just tried 0.45.0 (released two days ago) and it seems to work. I'm making a pull request to upgrade to it.
