I'm using Docker BuildKit so I need v2.5 so I can use docker-compose but am I missing something? should "docker compose" also show v2.5.1? On WSL it does show the same version for both. Thanks!

Yes, they should both be the same version. First check which

docker

binary you are calling with `where docker`:

C:\Users\Jan>where docker
C:\Users\Jan\AppData\Local\Programs\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\win32\bin\docker.exe
C:\Users\Jan\AppData\Local\Programs\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\linux\bin\docker

Maybe you have some other directory on your

PATH

that is shadowing the

docker

cli included in Rancher Desktop.

Then call the plugin manually to check the version:

C:\Users\Jan>"%USERPROFILE%\.docker\cli-plugins\docker-compose.exe" version
Docker Compose version v2.5.1

You should get the same version when called through the

docker.exe

binary:

C:\Users\Jan>"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\win32\bin\docker.exe" compose version
Docker Compose version v2.5.1

My guess is that you have an older version of

docker.exe

on your

PATH

first that is handling plugins differently.

PS C:\> get-command docker

CommandType Name Version Source ----------- ---- ------- ------ Application docker.exe 20.10.16.0 C:\Users\jholben\AppData\Local\Programs\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\win32\bin\docker.exe

PS C:\Users\jholben\AppData\Local\Programs\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\win32\bin> docker compose version
Docker Compose version v2.2.3

I couldn't get "where" to work - it didn't error - just didn't return anything - get-command did return the path to rancher desktop

where

is for cmd.exe 😄

On a side note thanks for that - I learn something new every day!

C:\Users\jholben>where docker
C:\Users\jholben\AppData\Local\Programs\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\win32\bin\docker.exe
C:\Users\jholben\AppData\Local\Programs\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\linux\bin\docker

I'm in a meeting now for 1h, but try to call the embedded docker-compose.exe from the

cli-plugins

directory and check the version.

If it isn't 2.5.1, then there is something wrong with your RD

It's deployed twice somehow - the .docker folder has the v2.2.3 and then AppData folder has the v2.5.1

C:\Users\jholben\.docker\cli-plugins>where docker-compose
C:\Users\jholben\.docker\cli-plugins\docker-compose.exe
C:\Users\jholben\AppData\Local\Programs\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\win32\bin\docker-compose.exe
C:\Users\jholben\AppData\Local\Programs\Rancher Desktop\resources\resources\linux\bin\docker-compose

Hmm, that means that the plugin was not installed properly by 1.4.1. Can you open a Github issue with this information?

On Linux and macOS we just install symlinks; I will have to look up what we do on Windows:

$ ls -l ~/.docker/cli-plugins
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 jan  staff  32 17 Jun 09:53 docker-buildx -> /Users/jan/.rd/bin/docker-buildx
lrwxr-xr-x  1 jan  staff  33 17 Jun 09:53 docker-compose -> /Users/jan/.rd/bin/docker-compose

I suspect the plugins are actually copied, and maybe for some reason the copying failed.

@proud-jewelry-46860 Do you know how this works on Windows, and if there should be something in the log files if the copying failed?

I don't think we actually did anything on Windows (that is, we left

~/.rd/cli-plugins

alone), and just added it to

PATH

? Which would make sense that the versions are incorrect.

There is no

~/.rd

on Windows; the plugins are installed into

~/.docker/cli-plugins

This should be the code that does it: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/blob/main/src/integrations/windowsIntegrationManager.ts#L272-L293

I also don't understand why the code does not log an error for

EEXIST

. That error should never be returned, as

copyFile

should overwrite the file if it doesn't exist.

Thanks for help guys, I created issue #2445 we just ran into this as well with a colleague's PC. As a quick workaround we just copied over the right version to get things going.

Thanks! The person who wrote the code is on vacation. Since you have a workaround, we are going to wait and let them deal with it 🙂

Sounds good! We're really enjoying Rancher - great job!
