Circle CI 2.0 always build fail even with the commit was built successfully

Feedback & Bug Reports
1

Hi,

I use docker-compose on CircleCI 2.0 by following the steps on the blog.

My configuration did work before, but it keeps failing today even with the same commit CircleCI built successfully.
Hence it’s possible to be a bug on CircleCI side.

It always fails on building official images from docker hub.

Could you please help on this issue?

Thanks,
Maso

+1 just trouble shooting the same issue.

– edit

We have a step that updates our docker-compose through pip. It looks like the docker-py version may have changed. Investigation continues.

–edit2

Issue looks to be with docker-py 2.4.0. https://github.com/docker/docker-py/issues/1668

We’re currently fixing by using a requirements:

pip install docker-compose -r requirements.txt

Where requirements.txt contains

docker==2.3.0

Same problem here…

We also run

dependencies:
pre:
- pip install docker-compose

Thanks @skinofstars !

I ended using just

pip install -I docker==2.3.0

as dependency
