Running astro deploy with astro-cli v1.19.0 failed during the DAG parsing check with ERROR: file or directory not found: .astro/test_dag_integrity_default.py. The CLI started validating DAGs against a test file inside the .astro directory, but that directory never made it into the built image. A user found the root cause: their .dockerignore excluded .astro, so the file was missing from the image. The immediate workaround is to add !.astro/test_dag_integrity_default.py to .dockerignore so the file is included. A maintainer shipped a proper fix in CLI 1.19.1, and the reporter confirmed the fix worked.

CLI 1.19.0 added a DAG integrity check that needs .astro/test_dag_integrity_default.py inside the image, but if your .dockerignore excludes .astro the check fails. Quick fix: add !.astro/test_dag_integrity_default.py to your .dockerignore so that one file is still copied into the image. Durable fix: upgrade the Astro CLI to v1.19.1 or later, which handles this properly. The reporter tried the maintainer's 1.19.1 fix and confirmed it worked.
