Hello, I am running into an issue in the docker build step. Error " Step 4/4 : COPY flows/ flows/
<https://github.com/wequilt/python-analytics-snowflake-load/actions/runs/3518767059/jobs/5898022373#step:5:130|129> COPY failed: file not found in build context or excluded by .dockerignore: stat flows/: file does not exist. Using the docker image from <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect-recipes/tree/deployments-docker/devops/deployments/docker|this repo>.  cc: <@U03AT2QB6LF>

Hi Ashely, are you using the `make all` command? Did you clone this version of the recipes repo?

<@U03AT2QB6LF> I did not use the make all command since I was trying to apply to the code I already have. I was able to successfully build the image and push to ECR though. I am now stuck on the deployment build step.

I am trying to run the following command but getting the error "No such file or directory: 'flows/main.py". I think part of the issue is I can't figure out where /opt/prefect/ directory is or how to validate that my flow actually was copied there when the image was built.
```prefect deployment build -n ct-snowflake-load-historical -q prod -ib ecs-task/ct-snowflake-load-historical-task flows/main.py:extract_load_events```

hmm what is the error when you are running the command?

Are you running the command from the dir right above the /flows dir?

The error is just that the file doesn’t exist. And no I don’t think I am in the right directory.

My understanding is when the docker image is built, a copy of the flow is written to /opt/prefect/flows. However, I don’t seem to have that directory or can’t find it.
