gcloud submit : specify Dockerfile with --file parameter doesn't seem to work

In my project, Dockerfiles are not stored in the same place that the files I want to COPY in my image. Like :

root
     Dockerfiles:
          app_name1:
              dockerfile1
          ...
    folder
          app1
          app2
          ...
cloudbuild

I have a cloudbuild.yaml like that :

steps:
- name: gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker
  args:
  - build
  - '--tag=eu.gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/${_IMAGE_NAME}:${_STAGE}'
  - **'-f ./Dockerfiles/${_IMAGE_NAME}/Dockerfile'**
  - .
images: [
    'eu.gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/${_IMAGE_NAME}'
]

and I build the image from root like that :

gcloud builds submit .
      --config=cloudbuild.yaml
      --substitutions [...]
      .

I checked inside my GCP Bucket, the source specified in gcloud submit (.) is successfuly uploaded and so should be accessible in ./workspace/.

But the build fails with the following error :

unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path: lstat /workspace/ .: no such file or directory

It seems like he doesn't want to use the Dockerfile specified in the --file argument. And I can't manage to find an exemple of cloudbuild.yaml using this argument. Any idea on what's happening ?

It's possibly that, if your file structure is accurate, you're referencing the Dockerfile path incorrectly.

A sanity check would be to run the docker build locally first:

PROJECT_ID="..."
_IMAGE_NAME="app1"
_STAGE="dev"

docker build \
--tag=gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/${_IMAGE_NAME}:${_STAGE} \
--file=./Dockerfiles/${_IMAGE_NAME}/Dockerfile \
.

The following works for me:

.
├── cloudbuild.yaml
├── Dockerfiles
│   └── app1
│       └── Dockerfile
└── folder
    └── app1
        └── greeting.txt

And:

./Dockerfiles/app1/Dockerfile:

FROM busybox

WORKDIR /tmp

COPY ./folder/app1/greeting.txt ./greeting.txt

ENTRYPOINT ["cat","/tmp/greeting.txt"]

And:

cloudbuild.yaml:

steps:
  - name: docker
    args:
      - build
      - --tag=gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/${_IMAGE_NAME}:${_STAGE}
      - --file=./Dockerfiles/${_IMAGE_NAME}/Dockerfile
      - .
images:
  - gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/${_IMAGE_NAME}

And:

PROJECT="..."
QUESTION="64972175"
gcloud builds submit . \
--config=./cloudbuild.yaml \
--substitutions=_IMAGE_NAME=app1,_STAGE="dev" \
--project=${PROJECT}
