Complete docker noob here, i installed docker desktop on windows - Trying to follow the commands on this link to setup OSRM backend on my machine. i've downloaded the dataset for india(india-latest.osm.pbf) to D:/docker and am running the commands from that location

docker run -t -v "${PWD}:/data" osrm/osrm-backend osrm-extract -p /opt/car.lua /data/india-latest.osm.pbf

fails with

[error] Input file /data/india-latest.osm.pbf not found!

i just don't understand WHY it doesn't work. according to osrm documentation of the docker command -

The file /data/india-latest.osm.pbf inside the container is referring to "${PWD}/india-latest.osm.pbf" on the host.

but it's not the case,i am running from d:/docker so it should find india-latest.osm.pbf no problem. This is really really confusing to me even though it must be so basic

it was due to a bug in docker https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/1712

when you change password it silently fails for commands that access the host filesystem on windows until you reauthenticate

Windows 10 user,

I found and article to use %cd% instead of ${PWD} and it worked for me, here the link: https://michaelbrooks.co.uk/windows-version-of-linuxs-pwd/
