docker.exe: invalid reference format

Question

I don't understand what's the problem ?

I installed Docker on Win10. This is my first experience with it. I read the manuals, start hello-world, and more. Next, I need to use the command mvn compile in the folder of the repository. For this needed to install Mavin.

I see this: https://hub.docker.com/_/maven/ and used:

docker run -it --rm --name my-maven-project -v "$PWD":/usr/src/mymaven -w /usr/src/mymaven maven:3.2-jdk-7 mvn clean install

... and I get the output

C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe: invalid reference format.
See 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe run --help'.

Output docker version

Sorry for the stupid question, first time working with Docker... Thanks!

Answer 1

You need to use the right syntax for the current folder, in the right environment:

• in a simple CMD shell session, you would use:

  -v "%cd%":/usr/src/mymaven
  

• in a Powershell session

  -v ${PWD}:/usr/src/mymaven
  

Answer 2

I had a situation: the dash was Unicode dash not ASCII minus (need to retype the dashes)
