@Kostis I’m still having challenges with shared volume. I’m getting the following error even though I’m following the documentation. The build spec snippet I’m using is below. Please advise.

**Error Message:**  
[SYSTEM]  
Message Failed to prepare composition: Run tests  
Caused by Cannot start composition with warnings [“Volume mapping is not supported, try use:  
/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/mysql\_init.sql”]
