Fix issue docker-credential-desktop not installed or not available in PATH on Mac

Sometimes you may encounter below issue while running docker-compose on MacOS.

Traceback (most recent call last):

dockerpycreds.errors.InitializationError: docker-credential-desktop not installed or not available in PATH
[7968] Failed to execute script docker-compose

To fix this issue, first need to check what the config is in ~/.docker. Sometimes the configuration contains below:

cat config.json 
{
  "stackOrchestrator" : "swarm",
  "credsStore" : "desktop",
  "experimental" : "disabled",
  "auths" : {

  }
}

You will find the credsStore config is desktop. That's why it tries to run docker-credential-desktop. Just update this config file and change the credsStore to osxkeychain from desktop should resolve the issue.

sed -i~ 's/"desktop"/"osxkeychain"/g' ~/.docker/config.json

New config.json.

{
  "stackOrchestrator" : "swarm",
  "credsStore" : "osxkeychain",
  "experimental" : "disabled",
  "auths" : {

  }
}

And now if you run the command again, you should not see this issue anymore. 

Other solution would be you try to install docker-credential-helper. But to be honest, it doesn't work for me.
