docker app build --build-arg not passed to docker-compose

[dave-yotta]

Description

I have a dockerfile which takes a build arg (it's an access token). This dockerfile is referenced as the build of a service in docker-compose.yml. running docker-compose build --build-arg PAT=mytoken builds successfully, but running docker app build --build-arg PAT=mytoken . -t mytag fails, the docker build has not recieved that build argument:

...
ARG PAT
RUN test -n "$PAT"
...

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Specify ARG PAT in dockerfile
2. use dockerfile in service with build: dockerfile:
3. run docker app build with corresponding --build-arg key=value argument

Describe the results you received:
argument is not available during docker build; RUN test -n "$PAT" does fails.

Describe the results you expected:
argument is available during docker build; RUN test -n "$PAT" does not fail.

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
