How to publish project as a dockerfile

[ArchibaldMacdonald-cyacomb]

Apologies if this is a silly question. I have a project setup like so:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var sqlServer = builder.AddAzureSqlServer("azuresql")
    .RunAsContainer() // Uncomment to use real Azure resource
    .AddDatabase("db");

builder.AddProject<Projects.ManagementFrontEnd>("apiservice")
    .PublishAsDockerFile(c => { c.WithDockerfile("../ApiService", "Dockerfile"); })
    .WithExternalHttpEndpoints()
    .WithHttpHealthCheck("/health")
    .WithReference(sqlServer)
    .WaitFor(sqlServer);

builder.Build().Run();

When I run azure publish, I would expect a docker image generation phase. This does not seem to be the case. What does PublishAsDockerFile actually do for projects?

Running Aspire 13.1.1.

PublishAsDockerFile means you wrote one. If you remove that call it will use the .NET SDK container build for dotnet projects.
