VS 2017 Add > Docker Support breaks build - “Clean

First off I'm using .NET 4.6.1. Does Docker with VS 2017 not work with anything but .NET Core?

I used the new feature Add > Docker Support from the context menu, and it created a bunch of files. Here's my Dockerfile (haven't touched it since it was auto-created):

FROM microsoft/windowsservercore
ARG source
WORKDIR /app
COPY ${source:-obj/Docker/publish} .
ENTRYPOINT ["C:\app\nameofmyapp.exe"]

When I build, I get the following error:

The "CleanWorkspace" task failed unexpectedly. Microsoft.DotNet.Docker.CommandLineClientException: The Compose file '...\docker-compose.yml' is invalid because: services.pas.parsemicroservice.build.context contains null, which is an invalid type, it should be a string.

Here's my docker-compose.yml file:

version: '2.1'

services:
  pas.parsemicroservice:
    image: pas.parsemicroservice
    build:
      context: 
      dockerfile: Dockerfile

If I add a . to context (as the error implies the null there is the problem), I get a different error:

There is a circular dependency in the target dependency graph involving target "DockerCleanServiceReferences".

Is this all a result of using the wrong .NET framework, or are my files set up wrong? (I am a Docker n00b to be sure.)

Update: Regarding your circular dependency issue, make sure your SLN and CSPROJ files are not in the same folder. Meaning that when you first create a solution, make sure to check the box that says "create directory for solution".

Docker support for non .Net Core applications is definitely supported in VS 2017 as shown at the 9:15 mark of this video https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Visual-Studio/Visual-Studio-2017-Launch/T111

Your context should point to the directory where your Dockerfile exists. This path should be relative to where your docker-compose.yml file is located.
