python: can't open file '/app/manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[phoenixhackt]

Hello, I'm writing to you because I'm experiencing a problem that I've been trying to solve for several days but which I'm really unable to overcome using cookiecutter. I'm doing all the steps as explained in the documentation and in the few videos I've seen on the internet. I set the parameters with Docker and Postrges15 but when I run the command:

docker compose -f local.yml up -d 

Then the django and docs container doesn't launch and I get the following in the logs:

Waiting for PostgreSQL to become available... 2024-01-08T18:56:08.078170950Z PostgreSQL is available 2024-01-08T18:56:08.115577061Z python: can't open file '/app/manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Questions:

1. What operating system are you using?
2. Is there a manage.py file in the root directory of your project?
3. Did you build the docker image first? What happens if you run docker compose up after docker compose build?

docker compose -f local.yml build --no-cache
docker compose -f local.yml up -d 

If the command docker compose -f local.yml build --no-cache gets an error, please send the logs and your local.yml file

Note: remember to anonymize the project name (project slug) and other private information before send any logs/files

1. Windows 11
2. Yes
3. I launched this command

docker compose -f local.yml build

before this one

docker compose -f local.yml up -d 

but without the --no-cache.
So I try and come back to you.
Thanks for the quick response.

Ok I still get the same logs for Django and docs, postgres still works:

Waiting for PostgreSQL to become available...
2024-01-08T20:06:37.839758449Z PostgreSQL is available
2024-01-08T20:06:37.908607149Z python: can't open file '/app/manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

make: *** No rule to make target 'livehtml'.  Stop.

Interesting. Could you tell me which settings you chose to start the project? Are you using docker engine installed inside wsl2, or are you using Docker Desktop? I would probably set up a Windows VM to try and reproduce the problem.

I use Docker Desktop.

Hello, for those who have the same problem, it seems to be due to the fact that I was running cookiecutter on a USB key, because I did it on a local folder and everything works perfectly.
