Summary of Docker build error
- Exact error message and exit code
- error: 'workspace': target 'protoc' referenced in product 'protoc' is empty
- exit code: 2
- Docker: process "/bin/sh -c make build" did not complete successfully: exit code: 2
- Failing command/step
- Step: [6/6] RUN make build (Dockerfile line 29)
- Inside command: make build (which runs swift build)
- Missing packages or files mentioned
- git submodule update failed (not a git repository):
- fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
- Missing workspace sources referenced by Swift build (protoc-related):
- numerous warnings: Invalid Source / File not found for various protobuf/abseil sources under /workspace/Sources/protobuf/... and related paths
- Example warnings encountered during build:
- "warning: 'workspace': Invalid Exclude '/workspace/Sources/protobuf/abseil/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy': File not found."
- "warning: 'workspace': Invalid Source '/workspace/Sources/protobuf/protobuf/src/google/protobuf/...': File not found."
- Root cause implied by error:
- "workspace: target 'protoc' referenced in product 'protoc' is empty" (protoc sources not present)
- Version mismatch / state info
- Base image: Swift 6.2 (docker.io/library/swift:6.2)
- OS/state inside image shows Ubuntu-coded names (noble) with many packages installed (gcc/g++/cmake, etc.)
- The submodule and missing source warnings indicate a state mismatch: submodules not checked out (no .git context) and workspace sources (protobuf/protobuf-upb and protoc) missing, leading to protoc being empty.FROM swift:6.2

Concerns: The build may require additional system dependencies not guaranteed by the Dockerfile (e.g., protobuf tooling or other build-time tools) depending on the SwiftProtobuf Makefile expectations., No explicit validation of the built artifacts is performed in the Dockerfile; it relies on 'make build' succeeding, which could fail if submodules or tools are unavailable in some environments.
