Could not find a required file for docker build

I keep getting a Could not find a required file for my docker build and I am not sure why. I am new to docker so is there a way I can "step through" the build process? I am running 

docker build .

when I am INSIDE the /redribbon-client directory

output:

$ docker build .

You will need to copy the public folder over as well. The error stated that it was trying to look for public folder

Could not find a required file.
  Name: index.html
  Searched in: /client/public

Can you try again with the new Dockerfile?

FROM node:alpine as builder

WORKDIR "/client"

COPY ./package.json .
RUN npm install

COPY ./src/ .
COPY ./public/ .

RUN npm run start

Alternatively, you can copy everything over like this: COPY . .
