Docker for MAC | Cannot run program "docker-credential-desktop"

Question

I'm trying to create a Docker image on a Mac computer. The command fails with the following error. I'm on Docker Desktop version 2.2.05.

Cannot run program "docker-credential-desktop": error=2, No such file or directory

I've read on some forums that including "credsStore": "osxkeychain" or "credsStore": "desktop" in ~/.docker/config.json. fixes the problem but I'm not able to find this file.

Has anybody faced this issue before? Any inputs would be appreciated.

thanks this works, please provide an explanation why. – Daemon

this worked for me – Pornography

This worked for me, although now I'll occasionally get the same error, and when I look at that file there's both credStore and credsStore, I just delete the credsStore and then it works again. – Encomiast

Thanks it resolved my issue and for windows also it is working. – Nations

Answer 2

On macOS this file is located in: /Users/YourUserName/.docker/config.json

The content of this file should look like this:

{
  "stackOrchestrator" : "swarm",
  "auths" : {
    "https://index.docker.io/v1/" : {

    }
  },
  "credsStore" : "desktop",
  "experimental" : "disabled"
}
