Error checking context is accessible: 'can't stat '.gvfs''. Please check permissions and try again

Question

I created a Dockerfile in my root.

FROM ubuntu:12.04

MAINTAINER Bhim Singh <[email protected]>

RUN apt-get y install java

CMD echo hello

then i tried to run this command : sudo docker build -t bhim3003/myjava .

I am recieving this error:

" Error checking context is accessible: 'can't stat '.gvfs''. Please check permissions and try again."

And docker image is not created. Any suggestions?

I faced the same issue while working with boot2docker on Windows 7. However I was able to build it successfully after moving dockerfile outside home directory.
