docker-compose command not found

[daeho-ro]

Description

When upgrade docker to 4.32.0, there is no docker-compose command and I confirmed that the .app package does not have one.

I am not sure if this change is intentional or if it is a side effect of removing com.docker.cli. Can anyone confirm this?

Reproduce

docker-compose
zsh: command not found: docker-compose

Expected behavior

@daeho-ro have you tried docker compose instead? (see https://docs.docker.com/compose/migrate/)

[daeho-ro]

@dgageot It is, of course working but my question is why it is deleted even if the command is deprecated. I cannot find any statement and just want to know what happen.

[dgageot]

@daeho-ro I understand. @glours @ndeloof, was the removal planned? Should it have been listed in the release notes?

[jbernardo95]

+1, running into this issue too 🙏

[likeajohny]

Same here.
I used to work around this (or rather towards the deprecation) by creating a script /usr/local/bin/docker-compose simply running

docker compose "$@"

This however is now erroring as well:

Error: spawn Unknown system error -8
Code: Unknown system error -8

[ndeloof]

Compose v2 can run standalone as docker-compose and AFAICT this should be the case within Docker Desktop, but maybe recent removal for legacy compose-cli broke this ?

[glours]

@dgageot there is something wrong in the update process, the symlink should now point to the CLI plugin binary. I'll work with the Stability team to fix this

[glours]

As a workaround you can run the following command:

sudo ln -sf /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/cli-plugins/docker-compose /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
