I got the following error while trying to build an image using a dockerfile.

$ docker build -t docker-whale . unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile

Just Remove the extension .txt from Dockerfile and run the command

  docker build -t image-name

It will work for unable to evaluate symlinks in dockerfile path error.
