Running a module from a library in dockerfile

Question

At the begging when creating this project I had a certain file under the following path my_app/my_app/my_file.py . The contents of that file are needed to create the docs.

My Dockerfile at the time looked like:

RUN . /opt/.venv/bin/activate && python -m my_app.my_file 

After that I created a new library, a part of which is that file. That library gets installed with poetry into my project.

I'd like to do sth similar to what was done before.

so this is the excerpt from my current Dockerfile:

RUN . /opt/.venv/bin/activate && python -m my_library.my_file

When I do pip list in my container I can see my-library listed there.

But the docs don't get generated anymore. Is there another way to run a module from a library in the Dockerfile?

Answer 1

Use this instead:

RUN /opt/.venv/bin/python -m my_library.my_file
