Kompose doesn't find dockerfile with context .

[BenderV]

I think I have find two errors:

1 - kompose us searching for context related to directory from where it is run, not from where docker-compose.yml file is located

kompose up -f docker/docker-compose-dev.yml -v
FATA Error while deploying application: k.Transform failed: Unable to build Docker image for service backend-server: ../server is not a valid path for building image backend-server. Check if this dir exists.: stat ../server: no such file or directory

2 - kompose fail to look for dockerfile (if the context is not in a subdirectory ?) -- could be related: #809 & #832

Error: {"message":"Cannot locate specified Dockerfile: Dockerfile"}

Note that docker-compose work well here.

Hey there! There was some effort pushed towards fixing this for build, but the contributor refused to sign the CLA. I believe the same / similar code could be created for using context.

But yes, this is currently a problem.

checked #946 but this issue still exists, docker-compose.yml can't find Dockerfile. 'docker-compose build' is working but 'kompose up' doesn't build. It might be caused from relative pathing but it should work with them.

Edit: kompose v1.18 seems working
