No services were found in the compose document(s). Did you mean to use profiles instead?

[arisliang]

When right click on the docker-compose.yml file, and select 'Compose up - selected services', no service is found, even though there are services in the file, and 'Compose Up' is able to run all of them.

Can you share your compose document?

[arisliang]

don't think it's related to particular compose file. Same compose file works on another machine. And it seems any compose file would be the same on this machine. I created a minimal compose, it gives this error.

version: '3'
services:
  hello1:
    image: hello-world

  hello2:
    image: hello-world

Do you have a non-default value for the setting docker.commands.composeUp or docker.commands.composeUpSubset? We use a docker-compose config --services to find the list of services, it's this config command that appears to be failing to find any services.

[arisliang]

I didn't change the default setting. I check in defaultSettings.json, for the 2 setting, it's:

	// Command templates for `docker-compose up` commands.
	"docker.commands.composeUp": [
		{
			"label": "Compose Up",
			"template": "${composeCommand} ${configurationFile} up ${detached} ${build}"
		}
	],

	// Command templates for `docker-compose up <subset>` commands.
	"docker.commands.composeUpSubset": [
		{
			"label": "Compose Up",
			"template": "${composeCommand} ${profileList} ${configurationFile} up ${detached} ${build} ${serviceList}"
		}
	],

docker.commands.composeUpSubset seems to expect profile list, what's that?

Removed the ${profileList} bit and add it to user setting, still the same error

[bwateratmsft]

The profile list is for when you're using compose profiles instead of service subsets. When they aren't in use, we substitute in an empty string, and vice versa with ${serviceList} when they are in use.

Can you run docker compose config --services and see what the output is?

[arisliang]

looks like the output is fine.

$ docker compose -f docker-compose-hello.yml config --services
hello1
hello2

[bwateratmsft]

This could be a Snap issue. Can you try the workaround in #3843 (comment) and see if that fixes it?

[arisliang]

set Docker Path, it doesn't seem to help. Restarting code doesn't help either.

[bwateratmsft]

This is a tough one. The call to docker compose config --services is succeeding, else a different error would be raised. However it is returning zero services when run. The only thing I can think to try is to run docker-compose -f docker-compose-hello.yml config --services--note the dash inbetween docker-compose, this is the old compose command. The system is supposed to autodetect that docker compose is available and use it, but there could be a bug in that logic.

FYI, after switch to deb installation, the issue is gone.
