Why docker-compose build start from begining

Question

For example.

Every time I build.

Copy package.json
Install package.json
Add current directory.

My question is:

Why it does not use from the cache. For example, It should not install the package.json from the start if the package.json does not change.

It should use the cache and update only the changes code.

Update:

Can you show us your code and how you are doing the build and what is the output of that build ? — Mostafa Hussein

It sounds correct, maybe there is some other instruction before that causes a cache invalidation , and you have to know that when a layer is rebuilt, all other following do the same. Can you show your Dockerfile and.Dockerignore? — Carmine Ingaldi

--force should be removed from the following line as it will ignore any cache and do a fresh installation for your packages which leads to a new docker build layer starting from the installation step.

RUN npm install --force

The -f or --force argument will force npm to fetch remote resources even if a local copy exists on disk.
