Building in Docker: `go install -v ./pkg/cmd/grafana-server` fails (cannot find packages) -- v5.2-beta1

Grafana Plugin Development

I’m getting the following error when trying to run go run build.go setup inside my container – however, I don’t get the error when I run it outside the container.

go install -v ./pkg/cmd/grafana-server
pkg/login/ldap_settings.go:7:2: cannot find package “GitHub - BurntSushi/toml: TOML parser for Golang with reflection.” in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/github.com/BurntSushi/toml (from $GOROOT)
/go/src/github.com/BurntSushi/toml (from $GOPATH)
pkg/services/notifications/codes.go:9:2: cannot find package “GitHub - unknwon/com: This is an open source project for commonly used functions for the Go programming language.” in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/github.com/Unknwon/com (from $GOROOT)
/go/src/github.com/Unknwon/com (from $GOPATH)

I’m building 5.2-beta. I’ll post my Dockerfile below if it helps:

FROM golang:latest AS build

CMD ["./bin/grafana-server"]

slight bump on this, I’m unsure what may have changed that would cause these (previous versions of grafana built fine using the same Dockerfile). If I’m doing something woefully wrong, please let me know.

Looks like this is due to a bug in the .dockerignore file that was recently added (hence why the issue only popped up with the upgrade to v5.2-beta1); we likely want to preserve the vendor path into the container.
