How to handle a situation when docker-compose.yml file is within a sub-directory

[nasikshafeek]

When the docker-compose.yml file is within a sub-directory - relative to where the RoboFile.php is located, how can we use robo-docker-compose related commands.

FYI: Docker tasks has a dir($dir) method for every command, which makes it possible to achieve something similar.

Ta!

The docker-compose binary allows for the -f flag to be used to provide alternative compose files.

-f, --file FILE   Specify an alternate compose file
                        (default: docker-compose.yml)

Which would translate into something like this within your RoboFile.php.

// Command equivalent: `docker-composer up -f /path/to/nested/docker-compose.yml`
$this->taskDockerComposeUp()
   ->file('/path/to/nested/docker-compose.yml')
   ->run();

@droath figured that out, but what if we have the .env for docker-compose at the very directory of the docker-compose.yml file, it doesn't work quite as expected. :(
