Hey @danilovict2, thanks for highlighting the issue! We’ll looked into it and update you when we have a fix. ---

@danilovict2 The issue was caused by `**/.git` in `.dockerignore`: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/codecrafters/original/2X/c/c42bbeb0ec405b351a10186f0203106d694b86d8.png) This line prevented Docker from copying `.git` into the image where your code runs. I’ve removed it and pushed a few commits to your repo. You can run `git pull` to get the latest changes. Let me know if you’re still experiencing the issue! ---

Nope, that didn’t work for me. Although there is a new error: Initiating test run… ⏳ Turbo test runners busy. You are in queue.

@danilovict2 Not sure how `**/.git` got back in `.dockerignore`. Could you try removing that line and give it another shot? Let me know how it goes! ---

It magically works now somehow, even though I did absolutely nothing. ---

Oh, I just reset the test runner for your repo. ---

@danilovict2 We’ve [made changes](https://github.com/codecrafters-io/test-runner/pull/260) to our test runner to ignore `.dockerignore` before building images. You can now use a `.dockerignore` in your repo without worrying about it interfering with the test runner.
