Dec 1, 2024In December 2024, the NOS3 repository nasa/nos3 addressed a Docker-related bug in FPrime component creation. The fix ensures the necessary directory is created in the user's environment during component creation and removed during uninstallation, eliminating a failure path in Docker-based workflows. Implemented via a targeted script adjustment and committed as 9f60f5d9d5071aca4be2e0d3f84de46421b9b3c5. This work improves reliability of component provisioning in Docker, reduces onboarding friction, and lowers support overhead for developers deploying NOS3 components in containerized environments.
