[BUG] using a local image fails silently for a local target built on the wrong platform, even with --verbose

[rsegal]

Description

Current behavior:

Running docker compose create and docker compose --verbose create silently fail to use a local image, and then loudly fail downstream when it can't pull that image;

✘ db Error        context canceled                                                                                                0.4s 
✘ <service 2> Error pull access denied for <service 1>, repository does not exist or may require 'docker lo...                  0.4s

even though both <service 1> and <service 2> are built images that I can see with docker image ls. However, when I force compose to use local images with docker compose create --pull never, it reports the root cause:

Error response from daemon: image with reference <service 1> was found but does not match the specified platform: wanted linux/arm64, actual: linux/amd64

And in fact the service blocks specified platform:linux/arm64 while I was trying to build on linux/amd64. Removing those lines allowed the build to succeed.

Expected behavior:

When running with the --verbose flag, the platform error is printed regardless of whether --pull never is specified. Running without --verbose could print the error without --pull never but probably doesn't.

Steps To Reproduce

1. On a MBP 2015 running Monterey
2. Have a docker compose file specifying two services, where one depends on the other
3. Have the depended-on service specify an incompatible platform, such as linux/arm64 (instead of your linux/amd64)
4. Build both images and then verify that they were created (say, with docker image ls)
5. docker compose create
6. docker compose --verbose create
7. docker compose create --pull never
8. Observe that steps 4, 5, and 6 all fail, but steps 4 and 5 do not report the root cause error while step 6 does.

Hello @rsegal, is it right steps to reproduce it?

Dockerfile1:
FROM alpine

Dockerfile2:
FROM --platform=linux/amd64 alpine

services:
  one:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile1
    depends_on:
      - two
  two:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile2

docker compose create:

! two The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested

second execution gives no error

[rsegal]

In my case the FROM invocations didn't specify the platform. (They were FROM mysql:8 and FROM wordpress:php7.4 for completeness.)

Rather, platform was specified in the docker compose file; both services had the argument platform: linux/arm64.

My inference is that my computer (being an old MBP) built the two images individually for itself, linux/amd64. Then in the docker compose call, because it explicitly was looking for a different platform it never considered those locally built images.
