Docker build found empty continuation lines in the Dockerfile

NoEmptyContinuation

Docker build checks found empty continuation lines that may become hard errors in future Dockerfile parsing behavior.

NoEmptyContinuation
  • A multiline Dockerfile instruction contains a blank continued line.
  • Formatting changes introduced a stray backslash continuation with no content after it.
  • The Dockerfile was edited for readability in a way that now violates build checks.
  1. Remove blank continuation lines from the Dockerfile instruction.
  2. Keep multiline instructions contiguous so each continued line contains real content.
  3. Re-run the build check to confirm the Dockerfile is future-safe.
