命令行参数不会传递到 Docker 容器入口点

Question

I created a console application to run benchmark tests with the Benchmark.Net library . This application is packed into a Docker container, which is a part of the docker-compose scenario. The ENTRYPOINT of that dockerfile looks like this:

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "Benchmarks.dll", "-f", "*"]

These args instruct the Benchmark.Net library to run all tests in that assembly.

The problem : the arguments are never passed to the console app. The docker-compose doesn't have command or entrypoint elements, it just references the dockerfile . If I use CMD in the combination with the ENTRYPOINT , it doesn't have any effect:

ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "Benchmarks.dll"]
CMD [ "-f", "*" ]

I need to run it on CI, so the default args should always be passed.

What am I doing wrong? How to make it work?

UPDATE: If I run it with the pure docker run command, it works just fine and gets the passed arguments. It turns out that when I run it from docker-compose , it doesn't print anything. The service definition in docker-compose.yml is quite simple, it just references the Dockerfile :

  benchmarks:
    build:
      context: ../
      dockerfile: test/Benchmarks/Dockerfile
      args:
        - NUGET_SOURCE
    depends_on:
      - another.service
    environment:
      - ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
    volumes:
      - ${APPDATA}/Microsoft/UserSecrets:/root/.microsoft/usersecrets:ro
      - ${APPDATA}/ASP.NET/Https:/root/.aspnet/https:ro

I tried to reproduce your issue, but I can't.

Here's my program (I did dotnet new console and changed Program.cs to this)

using System;

namespace app
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            foreach (var arg in args)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(arg);
            }
        }
    }
}

And my Dockerfile

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:5.0 as publish
WORKDIR /app
COPY . ./
RUN dotnet publish -o out app.csproj

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime:5.0
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/out .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "app.dll", "-f", "*"]

I then build and run it with

docker build -t test .
docker run --rm test

and it prints

-f
*

like you'd expect.

So the arguments are passed to the program. Your issue might be that you don't pass them correctly to Benchmark?
