Add SkipResolveLabels option to skip label_file resolution - #902
Merged
Conversation
docker/compose loads the full project just to resolve the project name for runtime commands (exec, ps, logs, ...) and uses WithoutEnvironmentResolution so a missing env_file on an unrelated service does not abort them. label_file resolution had no equivalent opt-out: WithServicesLabelsResolved ran unconditionally and failed on any missing file (label_file variant of docker/compose#13601). Gate it behind loader.Options.SkipResolveLabels and expose cli.WithoutLabelsResolution. Also stop discarding label_file entries when WithDiscardEnvFiles is set: since 56297d8 the loader passed the env_file discard flag into label resolution, silently dropping label_file entries too. Discard is only meant for env_file. Signed-off-by: Guillaume Lours <glours@users.noreply.github.com>
