How to configure Docker to build and run a jar file?

Explanation:

Hello, so I have been stuck with this issue for over a day. My goal is to create a dockerfile that enables maven to build a jar file. The reason I would like to this is to allow for CI/CD. I want to create a workflow that allows my master github branch to create a docker image and then push it to Docker hub.

Previously I had the standard file that would create an image by adding the built jar file and then running it. The issue with this is that my github repository doesn’t have the target folders, and It shouldn’t have it to my knowledge. Because of this setup, I have to build the image and push it to docker hub manually. This is something I want to turn into a workflow.

What I’ve Been Using:

FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine-jre
WORKDIR /app
COPY ../target/ur-codebin-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar app.jar
EXPOSE 8080
CMD java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=prod /app/app.jar

The Errors/Problems:

This issue I am faced now is how to get maven to build the project properly. Every single time I try building the following updated dockerfile, I am left with an error that indicates that node has not been installed. What confuses me is that, to my knowledge the vaadin dependencies are installing node when I build the project. So It doesn’t make sense why I’m getting this error.

Updated Dockerfile

FROM maven:3.5.2-jdk-8-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY pom.xml .
COPY src ./src/
COPY frontend ./frontend/
RUN mvn clean install -Pproduction  #I get the error at this step

CMD java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=prod ./target/ur-codebin-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

What confuses me about this is that if I go up the stack trace, I see the following stack trace which clearly states that “node installation was successful” at /root/.vaadin/node/node

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could approach this problem?
