docker build err: Failed to fetch and copy dep: {git,"https://github.com/nuex/envloader.git",

[MichaelBrenden]

The command

docker build -t helium/api .

fails at Dockerfile step 7/18 with this error:

===> Fetching envloader (from {git,"https://github.com/nuex/envloader.git",
{ref,"27a97e04f35c554995467b9236d8ae0188d468c7"}})
===> Failed to fetch and copy dep: {git,"https://github.com/nuex/envloader.git",
{ref,
"27a97e04f35c554995467b9236d8ae0188d468c7"}}
The command '/bin/sh -c ./rebar3 compile' returned a non-zero code: 1

Changing the first line of Dockerfile from
FROM erlang:24-alpine as builder
to
FROM erlang:23-alpine as builder
allows docker to build everything OK.

I chased the cause a little; cause may involve rebar3 and be due to the 7-year old envloder git repo stored on github is missing a refs dir (that was not copied in clone operation because it was empty in source tree) -- see erlang/rebar3#1251 -- see also erlang/rebar3#1259

Is this still happening for you? We build and deploy docker images for this repo as part of CI and do not get these errors at all. I don't know what would be causing your builds to fail that specifically
