Docker runs locally but not on Github actions :No such file or directory

Question

My docker files run locally without any problem , but when i do github actions workflow it gives error I have been through lot of posts but couldnt find proper solution. Been on it for like 2 days

i am attaching my docker and workflow file below, i think its related to working directory issue or is it related to permission.

ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c chmod +x /app/wisecow/wisecow.sh" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1 Error: buildx failed with: ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c chmod +x /app/wisecow/wisecow.sh" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

My DOCKER file

# Use a base image
FROM ubuntu:latest

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install fortune-mod cowsay -y && apt-get install netcat -y
ENV PATH="/usr/games:$PATH"

# Set the working directory
WORKDIR /app/wisecow

# Copy the shell script into the image
COPY wisecow/ /app/wisecow

# Make the script executable (if needed)
RUN chmod +x /app/wisecow/wisecow.sh
# Define the default command to run when the container starts
CMD ["sh", "-c", "./wisecow.sh"]

BUILD TO BE SUCCESSFUL

Answer 1

it worked, the problem was i somehow had a submodule in one of my directory , so removing it worked
