docker build image not working in PyCharm

Question

When attempting to build an image from a Dockerfile in PyCharm the following error is shown

Deploying 'test1 Dockerfile: Dockerfile'...
Building image...
Failed to deploy 'test1 Dockerfile: Dockerfile': com.github.dockerjava.api.exception.DockerClientException: Failed to parse docker configuration file<br/>caused by: java.io.IOException: Failed to parse docker config.json

Building outside of PyCharm from the command line works fine.

I assume I'm meant to set the location of the .docker/config.json file, but I don't see where in PyCharm to do that.

Versions

• PyCharm Community 2018.2.1
• PyCharm Docker plugin 182.3684.90
• Docker version 18.03.1-ce, build 9ee9f40
• Ubuntu 16.04

Answer 1

Something could have tempered with ~/.docker/config.json. Try deleting it and restarting the docker service afterwards.

You might want to docker login again in case you were logged in to some private registries.
