docker-compose failed after deleting docker image

Question

ERROR: build path /Users/client/lib/funnel_chart either does not exist, is not accessible, or is not a valid URL.

I got this error when I force deleted a directory when there is a merge conflict. And when I try to do the docker-compose down or even docker-compose down --rmi all it would still shows up this error. Same thing happens for docker-compose rm -all and docker-compose-dev.yml up.

You have a build parameter in your docker-compose.yml.

Even if you didn't ask docker-compose to do a build, it still checks that the referred-to build directories (if any) defined in the file are there. If any of them are missing, it throws its hands in the air and gives up.

You can fix this by either removing that build parameter from docker-compose.yml, or recreating the directory. Even if the directory is empty, it should be sufficient for you to run docker-compose down and turn things off.
