You need to either simplify your application (e.g.slit itwith microservices) or run the pipeline on a larger machine. For example if the build fails on a`SMALL` machine you should run it on a`MEDIUM` one.

***Problem:*** When I tried to build a repository, I received this error message: “Repository does not contain a Dockerfile. Please check the pipeline configuration”.

{% include

%}

***Solution:*** There are two ways to address this error:

{:start="1"}

1. Add a Dockerfile to the repository or verify that you configured the correct path to the Dockerfile.

To configure the Dockerfile path in the pipeline configuration, navigate to**`Repositories`**→**`Your Repository`**→**`Pipelines`**.

{% include

image.html

lightbox="true"

file="/images/3c8f08e-2016-09-29_12-57-55.png"

url="/images/3c8f08e-2016-09-29_12-57-55.png"

alt="2016-09-29_12-57-55.png"

max-width="40%"

%}

{:start="2"}

2. Use a pre-configured Codefresh Dockerfile template from the template selector on the Pipeline view. Navigate to**`Repositories`**→**`Your Repository`**→**`Pipelines`**.

{% include

image.html

lightbox="true"

file="/images/6b035ff-2016-09-29_13-03-58.png"

You have a[build step]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/codefresh-yaml/steps/build/) in your pipeline that fails with the error message: "Repository does not contain a Dockerfile. Please check the pipeline configuration" or "Failed to fetch the Dockerfile from path"

This error happens when you are trying to build a Docker image and the pipeline step cannot find a Dockerfile. It might be helpful to include a dummy step in your pipeline that prints all files in the workspace. This way you can verify what files are available to the pipeline.

{% highlight yaml %}

{% raw %}

print_pwd_files:

title: 'Listing files'

image: alpine:latest

commands:

- 'ls -l'

{% endraw %}

{% endhighlight %}

There are two ways to address this error:

First make sure that you have at least one[clone step]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/codefresh-yaml/steps/git-clone/) in your pipeline and that its name is`main_clone`. This way the current folder will automatically be setup in the project folder of the git repository.

{% highlight yaml %}

{% raw %}

version: '1.0'

steps:

main_clone:

title: 'Cloning main repository...'

type: git-clone

repo: kostis-codefresh/example_nodejs_postgres

revision: master

git: github

myDockerImage:

title: 'Building My Docker Image'

type: build

dockerfile: Dockerfile

image_name: my-app-image

tag: from-master-branch

{% endraw %}

{% endhighlight %}

Secondly, if you checkout multiple git repositories or use another name in your git clone step, make sure that the build step looks at the correct directory:

{% highlight yaml %}

{% raw %}

version: '1.0'

steps:

checkoutApp:

title: 'Cloning a repository...'

type: git-clone

repo: kostis-codefresh/trivial-go-web

revision: master

git: github

myDockerImage:

title: 'Building Docker Image'

type: build

dockerfile: Dockerfile

working_directory: './trivial-go-web'

image_name: my-app-image

tag: from-master-branch

{% endraw %}

{% endhighlight %}

Notice the`working_directory` property of the build step that searches for the Dockefile in the folder named`trivial-go-web` instead of the root folder of the pipeline workspace.
