Docker-java: windows volume mount exception

[moovida]

I am not sure if this is a bug or something I am doing wrong, but here it goes:

I create a container using:

• .withWorkingDir(WORKSPACE), where workspace is fort example /workspace
• .withBinds(Bind.parse(volumePath + ":" + WORKSPACE)) , where volumePath is D:testpath

When trying to create the container, the following exception is run:

Caught: com.github.dockerjava.api.exception.InternalServerErrorException: invalid volume specification: '/host_mnt/d/testpath:rw'

Is this expected? I could not find an example for windows machines.
Thanks

win paths are not supported yet

[moovida]

Noooooo, that is super sad... is this a super difficult task or is this something that could be done by "normal"programmers? :-)
Is there a plan to do this? Or some documentation about what would be necessary?
I really love the library...

Thanks for any hint.

@moovida try using Bind(String path, Volume volume) constructor directly instead of Bind.parse

There were two not ended PRs afair on off is https://github.com/docker-java/docker-java/pull/919/files

@moovida try using Bind(String path, Volume volume) constructor directly instead of Bind.parse

Hi @bsideup , looking at the code I see that it splits and applies the constructor you are suggesting, so I assume it would not work:

            String[] parts = serialized.split(":");
            switch (parts.length) {
            case 2: {
                return new Bind(parts[0], new Volume(parts[1]));
            }

Did you have a working windows case with this?
Thanks!

[bsideup]

@moovida you have : in the path (D:\testpath), so the splitting does not work correctly. This is why I suggest you to try the constructor instead.

[moovida]

@bsideup , thanks a lot for your suggestion, you made my day. It works like a charm.

Now I am puzzled about why it is said that windows paths are not supported?
Maybe my usecase is super simple, as I am just executing docker commands from a desktop application locally.

[bsideup]

@moovida well, @KostyaSha should have said that it is not supported by Bind.parse, not by the library overall.

Thanks a ton @bsideup et all, closing this here.
