path parameters description of build-and-push-image command needs more information about gcp-gcr-orb

I managed to make it work by doing the following :

version: 2.1
orbs:
  gcp-gcr: circleci/[email protected]
workflows:
  version: 2
  build:
    jobs:
      - gcp-gcr/build-and-push-image:
          dockerfile: frontend/Dockerfile
          image: eu.gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/frontend
          tag: $CIRCLE_BRANCH
          path: ~/project/frontend/
      - gcp-gcr/build-and-push-image:
          dockerfile: backend/Dockerfile
          image: eu.gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/backend
          tag: $CIRCLE_BRANCH
          path: ~/project/backend/

Shouldn't the job handle the fact that with a path, the docker file should be equal to <<parameters.path>>/$<<parameters.dockerfile>> with dockerfile being defaulted to Dockerfile?

@girards Thanks for sharing a workaround! I've put this on our backlog to address. This issue can likely be fixed by updating the version of circleci/docker orb used by the circleci/gcp-gcr orb.

Agreed, I understand the current design but we could consider this in a major change to the docker orb. Going to close this issue for now and reference from the docker orb.
