Docker Tooling fails on build for Docker Desktop 4.33 on Apple Silicon macOS

[tcwan]

This is a new problem with Docker Tooling in Eclipse 2024-03.
Docker Desktop for macOS was updated to v 4.33, on Sonoma 14.6 running on Apple Silicon (M2 Mini)

Docker Explorer can connect to Docker and display the list of images. The image jrpi4c was selected successfully in Project Settings (Build Inside Docker Image in the C/C++ Build->Settings->Container tab)

However, when attempting to build the project using Docker Tooling, the build fails with

Image not found: jrpi4c:latest (unix:///var/run/docker.sock)
Error logs attached.
cannot-invoke-plugin.txt
failed-retrieve.txt

The same issue is exhibited for Eclipse 2024-06, but I reverted to older verison for testing and error log generation

Hi @tcwan Docker Tooling is in maintenance mode and as such, we do not continually update/test for new Docker releases. We do not have access to MacOS machines so you may have to help us out if the problem is Mac specific, however, I see from your failed-retrieve.txt that it is complaining about a missing Container or ContainerConfig field which may be a change in the latest remote API. I will take a look to see if it is something we can fix on our end or whether an update is required for our docker-client dependency.

Hi @tcwan I've done some research. The problem is caused by the latest version of Docker removing some Json fields that were marked deprecated as of 1.44. The mandas docker-client still has these fields:

public interface ImageInfo {

  @JsonProperty("Id")
  String id();

  @JsonProperty("Parent")
  String parent();

  @JsonProperty("Comment")
  String comment();

  @JsonProperty("Created")
  Date created();

  @Deprecated // as of v1.44
  @JsonProperty("Container")
  @Nullable
  String container();

  @Deprecated // as of v1.44
  @JsonProperty("ContainerConfig")
  @Nullable
  ContainerConfig containerConfig();

You'll see that container and containerConfig are mentioned in your trace back.

That said, the preceding is latest mandas docker-client code. An issue needs to be opened to make these fields optional. I will open an issue and post here.

@tcwan I created: dmandalidis/docker-client#765

Hi @tcwan I just updated Linux Tools to docker-client 8.0.2. It should fix your problem. It will be available in our nightly build (likely tomorrow). Our nightly update site is: https://download.eclipse.org/linuxtools/updates-docker-nightly/. From there, you can update your Linux Tools Docker support. It will also be part of next weeks 4.33 M3 C/C++ EPP . I will update with M3 EPP site when available. From there, you can just download the M3 C/C++ EPP on its own and verify you can bring up the Docker Tooling perspective and perform actions with your current Docker. I'll close this when you confirm.

I was getting wierd conflicts when trying to update over my existing eclipse install.
Ended up deleting all eclipse related configs (~/.eclipse, ~/eclipse-workspace), and installed 2024-06-R, and then installed the Linux Tools nightly from 2024-08-19.

After restarting Eclipse, Docker Explorer and Project Settings can see and select the relevant Docker Images now.

I believe that the fix has addressed the issue.

Great, thanks @tcwan for verifying.
