docker compose build failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c npm run build" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1
Fix Docker build and compose failures in your repo.
When `docker build` or `docker compose up` fails, the fix is often Dockerfile syntax, build context, env files, or service dependencies — not just the last error line.
Container builds still depend on your application compiling and installing dependencies. A broken Node or Python layer inside Docker usually mirrors a broken host build.
Docker failures hide upstream project issues
Symptoms we see often
- docker build fails on COPY or RUN npm ci
- compose service unhealthy — dependency not ready
- Image tag mismatch between compose and CI
- Build context includes node_modules and blows cache or fails
Common causes
- Dockerfile order invalidates cache on every change
- Missing multi-stage build for TypeScript compile step
- .dockerignore missing large folders
- Env vars not passed into build args or runtime
How RinaWarp fixes it
RinaWarp Terminal Pro follows the Observe → Plan → Approve → Execute → Proof workflow. Nothing executes without your approval.
- Read Dockerfile, compose, and project build scripts together
- Fix application build first when the failure is compile/install
- Adjust Dockerfile stages, context, and ignore rules
- Verify with docker build or compose and capture exit code 0
Before and after
Representative terminal output — your project will differ, but the verification pattern should look like this.
Fixed app build (TypeScript + deps) Updated Dockerfile COPY order docker compose build — success Health check passed
