exec: "docker-credential-desktop.exe": executable file not found in $PATH

I got this error during docker build:

 => ERROR [internal] load metadata for docker.io/library/ubuntu:18.04                                                                                                                                                                   2.1s

Solution

  • This discussion solved my error.

    You should delete the line with credsStore from ~/.docker/config.json or rename credsStore to credStore.

    Explanation:

    The property credsStore specifies an external binary to serve as the default credential store. When this property is set, docker login will attempt to store credentials in the binary specified by docker-credential-<value> which is visible on $PATH. If this property is not set, credentials will be stored in the auths property of the config.

    Read more about it https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/#credential-store-options.
