AWS SDK for c++ build failure: HttpClientTest.cpp:146: Failure

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to build the aws sdk in my docker image following these commands:

```

FROM ubuntu:22.04

RUN apt update && \
    apt install -y ca-certificates build-essential uuid-dev libpulse-dev g++ cmake  git libcurl4-openssl-dev \
     zlib1g-dev wget libssl-dev --no-install-recommends && \
    apt-get autoremove -y && \
    apt-get clean && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN cd /app/src && \
    git clone --depth 1 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp && \
    mkdir -p /app/src/aws-sdk-cpp/build && \
    cd /app/src/aws-sdk-cpp/build && \
    cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_ONLY="sqs" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local && \
    make -j$(nproce) && make install

```

The docker build fails in my local machine but it fails when I run it from my work machine with this error.

```

```

Is there a way to fix this? Are there network requirements for build the sdk?

You can modify your Dockerfile to skip the tests by passing the -DENABLE_TESTING=OFF flag to the cmake command. This will prevent the tests from being built and executed, which should resolve the errors you're seeing.

Here’s an updated version of your Dockerfile:

```
FROM ubuntu:22.04

# Install dependencies
RUN apt update && \
    apt install -y ca-certificates build-essential uuid-dev libpulse-dev g++ cmake git libcurl4-openssl-dev \
    zlib1g-dev wget libssl-dev --no-install-recommends && \
    apt-get autoremove -y && \
    apt-get clean && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Clone AWS SDK for C++ and build it
RUN cd /app/src && \
    git clone --depth 1 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp && \
    mkdir -p /app/src/aws-sdk-cpp/build && \
    cd /app/src/aws-sdk-cpp/build && \
    cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_ONLY="sqs" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DENABLE_TESTING=OFF && \
    make -j$(nproc) && make install

```
This approach ensures that your build process is focused purely on compiling the SDK and avoids any test-related errors.
