Azure-pipelines-tasks: VSTS Docker Agent can't find docker-compose.yml

[pageflex]

Issue Description

I am creating a vsts task that first builds a series of docker images and then publishes them to a private ACR. I want to use the previously built docker-compose.yml to effect the multi dockerfile build. Even though it pulls sources correctly and I can see the docker-compose.yml on the path

the agent cannot find the file. I've tried both way, with the **/docker-compose.yml and Source/docker-compose.yml (the direct file path). The debug shows the right path, but it still doesn't find it.

Shown here is the definition in vsts (relative but have also tried **/docker-compose.yml)

Environment

• Server - VSTS + Azure Linux Docker Agent
  
  
  
  • Team: pageflex-pando-dev.visualstudio.com
  
  
  • Project: Teamcity.DocumentReleaseNotes
  
  
  • Build: TeamCity.DocumentReleaseNotes-CB
  
  
• Linux Agent - Hosted in Azure:
  
  
  
  • Ubuntu 16.04 (from the docker image specified around the various help articles)

Error explicitly says that "which docker-compose: command failed means docker-compose is not installed on the agent machine.
"Unhandled: Failed which: Not found docker-compose: null"
Its able to find docker-compose.yml

1) is there any way to make the verbiage more clear in the error? Surely it's understandable that I made the assumption that it couldn't find the docker-compose file itself.
