Jsonnet: Compilation error when running pip install in docker (but not just in virtual environment on OSX)

[conrad]

Hello, I have a python server using jsonnet that isn't able to pip install jsonnet when building in docker. It works fine locally on OSX, but the code below is getting failures:

Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.7-slim-buster
COPY ./app /app
WORKDIR /app
RUN python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt   // also used pip install -r requirements
CMD ["python3", "app.py"]

requirements.txt:

Click==7.0
Flask==1.1.1
itsdangerous==1.1.0
Jinja2==2.10.3
jsonnet==0.14.0   // also tried 0.11.0 because of this issue - https://github.com/google/jsonnet/issues/586
MarkupSafe==1.1.1
Werkzeug==0.16.0

I've tried building from different the python alpine base image as well. Every time I get this error (or two):

The python package needs to compile Jsonnet, so you need build tools for pip install command to work - you need Make, gcc and g++.

I'm not familiar with this docker image, but my understanding is that it's based on Ubuntu. If that's right adding the following before the pip command is likely to fix your problem:

RUN apt-get install build-essential

Thanks. That did it (along with RUN apt-get update)

Thanks. That did it (along with RUN apt-get update)

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y build-essential
worked for me. Thanks.
