Hum it used to work before? I guess it's something related to how Git Bash interprets the paths, maybe it messes it up between Unix/Windows 🤔

I set this var in the command MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 as per this old discussion docker-archive/toolbox#673 and it worked. Also seems to not change anything for those running on Linux/MacOS. I can send a PR

Edit: Weird, the other command attribute-registry-generation works normally 🤔

I'm investigating. This wasn't broken for me.

So - I think we need more information about your setup. I've been using WSL.

A few things to confirm:

1. Can you run docker pull otel/weaver:latest? Unfortunately, we're using the latest tag right now, but this is fixable.
2. Are you running make from the root of the semconv folder? It appears that windows is trying to read C:/Program Files/Git/source. However, for the docker image, we're trying to mount {semconv_root}/model as /source. I think @joaopgrassi may be right that there's some kind of directory conversion happening in your environment that's unwanted for the "docker" side of the path.
