Flow directory not found in docker container

I am currently trying to run a simple deployment inside of a docker container in a similar fashion to the prefect docker tutorial. I am trying to run my deployments and build my containers locally on my linux machine.

My build/pull configuration are specified as the following:

# build section allows you to manage and build docker images
build:
- prefect_docker.deployments.steps.build_docker_image:
    id: build_image
    requires: prefect-docker>=0.3.0
    image_name: docker-tutorial-image
    tag: latest
    dockerfile: Dockerfile

# push section allows you to manage if and how this project is uploaded to remote locations
push:

# pull section allows you to provide instructions for cloning this project in remote locations
pull:
- prefect.deployments.steps.run_shell_script:
    id: viewdir
    script: ls
    stream_output: true
- prefect.deployments.steps.set_working_directory:
    directory: /opt/prefect/

I added the ls command with my pull step so I can see what my working directory looks like when I’m trying to run the flow. This is the output I get during the pull phase:

 > Running run_shell_script step...
dist
entrypoint.sh
requirements.txt
/usr/local/lib/python3.8/runpy.py:127: RuntimeWarning: 'prefect.engine' found in sys.modules after import of package 'prefect', but prior to execution of 'prefect.engine'; this may result in unpredictable behaviour
  warn(RuntimeWarning(msg))
15:08:30.945 | ERROR   | Flow run 'heavenly-carp' - Flow could not be retrieved from deployment.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 839, in exec_module

  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 1032, in get_data
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'flows/app.py'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

As you can see above, for some reason the directory called “flows” which has the python file with my flow is not found in the docker container.

My docker file looks like the following:

FROM prefecthq/prefect:2.11.0-python3.8
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt --trusted-host pypi.python.org --no-cache-dir
COPY flows /opt/prefect/flows
RUN ls
RUN pwd

What’s even more confusing to me is that during the build phase, I added RUN ls and RUN pwd, and you can clearly see that my “flows” directory got copied over properly inside the container. I am completely lost on what is happening. This is the output during the build phase:
