While building and pushing an image to the docker registry, one can encounter the following error:

The resolution is to add an environment stage variable named “container” with a value “docker”. Follow these simple steps to do add a stage variable:

  • Navigate to Variable on the left side of the pipeline studio.You can refer to the below screenshot for the reference.

  • Go to the stage where the Build and Push an Image to Docker Registry step is added.

  • Go to stage variable -> Add variable.

  • Write variable name as container and type will be string and then select Save.

  • Give the value of the variable as docker.

  • Click on Apply Changes.
