How to update container code without running docker-compose build?

Question

When I make changes to any code in my development, the change does not reflect until I run docker-compose up --build again

The Dockerfile :

RUN mkdir /myapp
WORKDIR /myapp
COPY Gemfile /myapp/Gemfile
COPY Gemfile.lock /myapp/Gemfile.lock
RUN bundle install
COPY . /myapp

... and docker-compose.yml :

server:
    tty: true
    stdin_open: true
    build: .
    command: bash -c "rm -f tmp/pids/server.pid && rake db:create && rake db:migrate &&  bundle exec rails s -p 3000 -b '0.0.0.0'"

    links:
      - db
      - redis

    volumes:

         - ./myapp

This set up worked well on my OS, not sure why it's not working the same on Windows. The structure for folder stored locally C:/users/docker/projects/myapp .

Any help is much appreciated

Found the solution here: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/3385 This worked for me.

Right-click the dir Click properties click the security tab click the "Edit" button. click the add button Type "users" in the text box click "Check Names" (should auto fill/update for you) click okay Highlight your newly added group. 10. Under "Permissions for [User/Groupname]" select Full control click apply Click "OK" Click "OK"
