Unable to set --project-name using docker-compose task

[Xitric]

First of all, thank you for creating such a brilliant plugin.

We are in the process of setting up Visual Studio Code tasks to simplify complex docker compose commands within my team. Because we use a mono-repository, we are layering multiple compose files on top of one another, the base file which is located in a docker repository like this:

root/
├─ docker/
│  ├─ docker-compose.yaml
│  ├─ .env
├─ project1/
│  ├─ docker-compose.yaml

docker-compose.yaml files inside the project directories include modifications to the base compose file. Since docker/docker-compose.yaml is always the first compose file in our docker compose commands, the project name is inferred as docker regardless of which product we spin up.

We would instead like the ability to specify the --project-name argument on a task-by-task basis, such as:

{
    "label": "Compose up: Project 1",
    "type": "docker-compose",
    "dockerCompose": {
        "up": {
            "detached": true,
            "build": true,
            "projectName": "Project1"
        },
        "files": [
            "${workspaceFolder}/docker/docker-compose.yaml",
            "${workspaceFolder}/project1/docker-compose.yaml"
        ],
        "envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/docker/.env"
    }
}

Using "customOptions": "--project-name product1" is not possible, since that will place the argument incorrectly in the resulting command:

docker compose up -f docker/docker-compose.yaml -f project1/docker-compose.yaml --env-file docker/.env up -d --project-name product1

As opposed to:

docker compose up -f docker/docker-compose.yaml -f project1/docker-compose.yaml --env-file docker/.env --project-name product1 up -d

If this is within scope, I would be happy to open a PR.

Good suggestion!

Totally! We love user contributions. For this, we should also do a small documentation update in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/main/docs/containers/reference.md#compose-task-reference; you can submit that or we can.

Thanks, I will look into it and open a PR

This has now been released in version 1.21.0 of the Docker extension.
