docker: Error response from daemon: Mounts denied: approving /path/to/file does not exist

Question

My docker command:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/mutcompute ens_net:v3

Gives me the following error:

docker: Error response from daemon: Mounts denied: approving /Users/danny/Documents/Codes/Python/net_containers/ensemble_net: file does not exist.

However, I have used this same command when in the same directory for over 6 months now. It just opens my directory in the current docker container so I can run my software that is preinstalled.

Today my docker updated to version 3.0.0 (MacOS).

I am assuming this is due to the update?

I have restarted docker and I have restarted my computer. Still does not work.

Still not fixed, note in Docker 3.3.3 the option is no longer in Experimental features, but it's moved into General settings. Unchecking this still helps to resolve the issue. – vasek

in Docker Desktop

1. Open Preferences
2. Click General
3. Disable - Use gRPC FUSE for file sharing
