Docker cookbook not finding Docker file - dockerfile

Question

I've got a Dockerfile I'm trying to build using the following code:
docker_image 'wafflehouse' do
source '/root/dockerimages/CentOS'
action :build_if_missing
read_timeout 6000
write_timeout 6000
end
Using test kitchen the builds fail:
Error executing action `build_if_missing` on resource 'docker_image[wafflehouse]'
No such image: sha256:4eda692c08e0a065cg91d74e82ffxxxxxxxx07b4341ad61fa61771cc4659af60
Docker::Error::NotFoundError
If I reference the Dockerfile directly in the code:
docker_image 'wafflehouse' do
source '/root/dockerimages/CentOS/Dockerfile'
action :build_if_missing
read_timeout 6000
write_timeout 6000
end
The build fails to find the files that are referenced in the Dockerfile to copy:
FROM centos
COPY wafflehouse.repo /etc/yum.repos.d
COPY wafflehouse-artifacts.repo /etc/yum.repos.d
COPY wafflehouse-snapshot-artifacts.repo /etc/yum.repos.d
RUN yum install -y net-tools
CMD ["bash"]
The files are in the same directory as the Dockerfile. Any ideas on either of these?

I believe you have a problem with the dockerfile instead of Chef.
You should keep in mind that you are providing a relative path to the source of the files you want to copy.
In order to fix this, try using absolute paths for source and target paths, something like:
FROM centos
COPY /root/dockerimages/CentOS/wafflehouse.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/wafflehouse.repo
COPY /root/dockerimages/CentOS/wafflehouse-artifacts.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/wafflehouse-artifacts.repo
COPY /root/dockerimages/CentOS/wafflehouse-snapshot-artifacts.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/wafflehouse-snapshot-artifacts.repo
RUN yum install -y net-tools
CMD ["bash"]
