File based build secrets not accessible when using .dockerignore that excludes everything and adds exceptions #25314

Issue Description

Our project template uses a .dockerignore that starts with * to ignore ALL files. We then add specific lines prefixed with ! to create exceptions. This way, we do not have issues with too large contexts being send to the engine.

However, this appears to break the type=file build-secrets:

$ podman build --secret=id=MY_SECRET,type=file,src=${SECRETS_FILE} --no-cache -t foo .

Error: failed to parse query parameter 'secrets': "[\"id=MY_SECRET,type=file,src=podman-build-secret1918992619\"]": rename /var/tmp/libpod_builder3673920082/build/podman-build-secret1918992619 /var/tmp/libpod_builder3673920082/podman-build-secret1918992619: no such file or directory

Adding a line !*podman-build-secret* to the .dockerignore seems to be a workaround, but preferably would not want to create exceptions for these names

The problem seems to occur both on mac and windows with type=file based build-secrets. However, more important on mac because on windows the actual docker image build with a file-based secret always results in a different error.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Create a new empty folder
  2. Inside empty folder, create a file .dockerignore with the following contents:
*
  1. Create a new file Dockerfile with the following contents:
FROM alpine

RUN --mount=type=secret,id=MY_SECRET \
    ls -la /run/secrets && \
    cat /run/secrets/MY_SECRET
  1. Execute the following command:
SECRETS_FILE=$(mktemp) ; echo "Super Secret" > $SECRETS_FILE ; podman build --secret=id=MY_SECRET,type=file,src=${SECRETS_FILE} --no-cache -t foo .

Describe the results you received

The above steps result in the following error:

Error: failed to parse query parameter 'secrets': "[\"id=MY_SECRET,type=file,src=podman-build-secret1918992619\"]": rename /var/tmp/libpod_builder3673920082/build/podman-build-secret1918992619 /var/tmp/libpod_builder3673920082/podman-build-secret1918992619: no such file or directory

Describe the results you expected

I would expect this command to work without the need for adding !*podman-build-secret* to the .dockerignore file.

The reproduction steps do not result in any error when using docker (though using docker on a linux machine, not on the mac since I do not have the option of running docker on my mac).

On a windows machine the error is the same:

C:\Users\guido\testing_secrets>podman build --secret=id=MY_SECRET,type=file,src=mysecret.txt --no-cache -t foo .
Error: failed to parse query parameter 'secrets': "[\"id=MY_SECRET,type=file,src=podman-build-secret1067707365\"]": rename /var/tmp/libpod_builder3212319988/build/podman-build-secret1067707365 /var/tmp/libpod_builder3212319988/podman-build-secret1067707365: no such file or directory

However, if on the windows machine I update the .dockerignore file to exclude podman-build-secret files, I get a different error:
