Moving to actor/actor.json fails

At a glance

The community member had an old actor on Apify and is trying to update it to match the new configuration style. However, during the build process, the builder cannot find the Dockerfile, and the community member suspects that the builder does not understand the change in building style. The community members discuss potential solutions, such as removing the Dockerfile setting or the .actor folder. Eventually, they figure out that the issue was caused by an extra space in the .actor folder name.

I had an old actor (WEB IDE on Apfiy) and I am on the process to update it to match the new configuration style (cf this link https://docs.apify.com/actors/development/actor-config#essential-materials). But at build time, it sounds like the builder cannot find the Dockerfile

ACTOR: Dockerfile not found, using the default one

. My guess is that the builder does not understand that I am switching of building style for this actor. Any idea ?

What happens if you remove the dockerfile setting?

gguillim

removing the linke 9 from the actor.json file ? Or removing the Dockerfile

vvladdy

The former

gguillim

still the same pb

vvladdy

Hmm, let me take a look

gguillim

need an actor ID ?

vvladdy

Feel free to DM me that, sure

For any readers, we figured it out (it was the .actor folder having an extra space in its name)
