Load parent level context in docker build

[prasadKodeInCloud]

I have a repository in following structure and I need to run the Dockerfile in the web folder referring to the root level build context.

- Root
  - docker-compose.yml
  - packages
  - web
      - Dockerfile
  - deploy
     - cdk
       - bin
         - cdk.ts

I can build the web docker successfully with following docker-compose config for example.

web:
   build:
     context: ./
     dockerfile: ./web/Dockerfile

I could not find a way to do this in /deploy/cdk/bin/cdk.ts file with ecs

  ecs.ContainerImage.fromAsset('../../', { 
        file: '../../web/Dockerfile',

I can manually build the docker image in /deploy/cdk folder with following params.

docker build --build-arg MY_PARAM=123 --tag test_tag --file ../../web/Dockerfile ../../

I assume this is due the fix introduced in here for the issue reported in here. Now the context is always '.' as I can see.

Need an optional parameter for context to override the default value in this case if I am not wrong.

 ecs.ContainerImage.fromAsset('', { 
       file: '../../web/Dockerfile',
       context: '../../'

Managed to fix the issue mentioned above by changing the deploy docker file to include the Root level scope.

image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromAsset(path.resolve(__dirname, '../../..'), {
        file: './web/Dockerfile',

Now getting the error mentioned in here.

#3899

fixed the above issue by excluding folders.

In our case.

exclude: [ 
          'app',
          'apps',
          'deploy'
        ]
