I have been hitting my head at this problem for weeks now and i cant seem to find a reason why docker suddenly cant find my projects anymore. For context i use the auto dockerfile gen on Visual Studio that has worked for years. But suddenly a month ago or so. it just stopped being able to find any project.
The dockerfile

launchSettings.json
if you can help me. thanks in advance i lost hope at this point it could be simple error that i have missed or something else.
tried to move in to a new drive still failed
reinstalled docker too see if that fixed it, it did not.
asked AI more times then i remeber to if they knew the answer other then it cant find your file.
installed linux ported files over runned the command and it still fails..
Your Dockerfile is in the RESTAPI directory, but is written in a way that assumes that the parent directory is the build context.
If you are in the RESTAPI directory and do
docker build -t myimage .
it will fail because the context is the RESTAPI directory and not the parent directory.
If you set the context to the parent directory, like this
docker build -t myimage ..
(e.g. with 2 periods at the end) it should work.
Your docker compose file probably sets the build context correctly and that's why it works from there.
