[Reference feedback]: Container app create fails with python error

[jackroc97]

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Reference command name

az containerapp compose create

Feedback

I am running the following command to try and use my existing docker-compose to build a container app:

export LOCATION=eastus2
export RESOURCE_GROUP=rg-my-project
export ENV_NAME=env-my-project

az group create --name $RESOURCE_GROUP --location $LOCATION &&

az containerapp env create \
    --name $ENV_NAME \
    --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --location $LOCATION &&

az containerapp compose create -g $RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --environment $ENV_NAME

And my docker-compose looks something like this (I have removed sensitive data specific to my project):

name: my-project
services:

  # A dependency service that I pull from a container registry
  dependency-project:
    restart: always
    build:
      context: ./stable
      tags:
        - "someurl.com/dependency-project:stable"
    image: someurl.com/dependency-project:stable
    env_file:
      - .env
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:4001:4003"
      - "127.0.0.1:4002:4004"
      - "127.0.0.1:5900:5900"

  # My locally-built service
  my-project-service:
    build: .
    env_file:
      - .env
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:5001:5001"
    volumes:
      # This ties the container to the host timezone
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      # Logging direcotory
      - ./logs:/app/logs

I receive the following output:
